Helen Tiffin is a sophomore at William & Mary in Virginia, studying Integrative Conservation and Environmental Humanities. Spending her childhood on a farm in rural Ohio sparked Helen’s deep care for the environment. But as she got older, she saw that others hadn’t had similar opportunities to connect with nature - and even worse, that those nature experiences are becoming rarer with climate change. Helen chose to step up and do something to reverse that trend.

Helen is one of our college outreach interns this fall. She chose CCL specifically because we provide tangible solutions and clear avenues to take action. In addition to interning with us, Helen is the Vice President of the William and Mary CCL Chapter, runs social media for the Dayton Chapter, and is currently helping plan the Mid-Atlantic conference! As a college outreach intern, she is helping to generate engaging and informative content for our website and Instagram. She is particularly passionate about our nonpartisanship value, and hopes to build spaces for college conservatives here at CCL.

When she’s not busy with CCL, you can find Helen singing in her Methodist Church choir in Ohio. On campus, she’s highly engaged with the Wesley Foundation, a community that provides meals, fellowship, and radical hospitality to all people. She enjoys spending time with animals (including her farm animals and pets), and isn’t afraid to set her creative streak free, making jewelry out of sea-glass that she collects, designing stickers, and playing ukulele. Her favorite band is The Beatles! We are thrilled to have such a visionary young climate leader joining the higher ed team.
