Core Staff

Julie Cosgrove
Coordinator

Julie joined KWIC in 2003 as an exciting opportunity to connect a decade + of social justice work, volunteer engagement and project mangement, and experience living andworking in the West Indies, North Africa and the Canadian Arctic, with her new life in Peterborough. What she enjoys most is getting connected with and learning from all the amazing people that gather through KWIC, bringing their passion and ideas. (And the notoriously great food at KWIC gatherings). She is mindful of the urgent need to preserve the integrity of this amazing and interconnected life system we call Earth for her beautiful son and children everywhere.

Julie completed her Honours B.A. at Waterloo University (Co-op Program), B. ED. at York and a Community-based International Development Program, specializing in Participatory Approaches at the COADY International Institute (St. Xavier University) in Nova Scotia.
