Molly Stevens

Austin | Non-profit Manager

Ms Stevens has spent her career in the non-profit sector, beginning with a dozen years of work at the United Way in Flint, Michigan and New Orleans, Louisiana. Her next chapter took her to San Antonio, where she served as state development officer for the Nature Conservancy of Texas, helping build its capacity for staff payroll and land acquisitions. She next came to Austin, where she spent 13 years working for the Environmental Defense Fund’s Texas office, serving first as its director of development, and later as its regional managing director, helping further its work in conservation research, market-based solutions, and advocacy. Following her work at EDF, she served as executive director at the Westcave Outdoor Discovery Center. Together with her volunteer role starting both the Children in Nature Collaborative of Austin and the Families in Nature group, her job at Westcave put her squarely in the effort to improve environmental education, and to foster a better connection between young people and nature. More recently, she has worked as a leadership and life counselor at Moonlight Coaching.
