Jennifer Girvin, Learning Centre Coordinator
Jennifer Girvin joined the Foundation for Rural Living in 2008 as a part of the Rural Development Officer Program, taking on the role of Community Relations Coordinator. In 2009 she made the transition from the RDO program into the role of FRL’s Learning Centre Coordinator.
A graduate of the University of Guelph’s Diploma in Agriculture Program, Jennifer is passionate about promoting agriculture and rural communities. In 2004, she served as President of the Junior Farmers’ Association of Ontario (JFAO), a province-wide organization that builds future rural leaders through self-help and community betterment. Currently, Jennifer maintains her strong ties to rural Ontario through her role as 1st Vice President of the Erin Agricultural Society, the organizing body of the annual Erin Fall Fair.
Through her work with both of these organizations, Jennifer has further developed her leadership skills, and is pleased to put her organizational capabilities and her personal insight into issues facing rural community groups to good use at FRL.
