Chris Young began volunteering at the UEC a decade ago. In February 2020, he began consulting work as the project manager for the UEC Institute. He is on academic leave from his role as professor of Biology at Alverno College, where he has taught courses on global warming, evolution, natural history, and science education, in addition to introductory biology. He also is an affiliate professor in the Department of History at UWM. He is thrilled to be managing a program that introduces the Urban Ecology Center model for community leaders and educators from around the world.

Many of us living in Milwaukee have come to rely on the Urban Ecology Center as a place that provides us with a community space, in three distinct locations across the city.
