Larissa Yantha 

Larissa Yantha is a volunteer at the Charlton Sustainability Hub and a Board Member for the Northern Ontario Centre for Sustainable Development (NOCSD). She completed a BA in Global Studies and an MA in Religion, Culture and Global Justice at Wilfrid Laurier University, where she is an occasional contract faculty member. Larissa recently completed an NOHFC internship at Northern Policy Institute where she was a policy analyst. During her time at NPI, she became interested in Indigenous capacity and innovation, population retention, and community-driven approaches to anti-racism. Larissa currently acts as the Special Projects Coordinator at the Municipality of West Nipissing. Larissa hopes that volunteering for the CSH and NOCSD will give her the opportunity to continue applying her interdisciplinary knowledge and intersectional research approaches. When not buried in research, Larissa can be found in her hometown of Englehart and roaming Northeastern Ontario.
