Will Grant

Will Grant was the co-founder and Executive Director for 10 years of BLAST, a multicultural organization that developed networks of leaders from marginalized communities to democratize education and social service systems in New Mexico. For 20 years, he has worked on LGBTQ* issues at the intersection of community, spirituality, power, and memory – including starting California’s first high school LGBTQ history class. He currently works for the Pachamama Alliance as lead designer for an international training system for local solutions to climate change that integrate regeneration, justice, and connection with the earth. He also runs a consulting practice on organizational development, working with progressive organizations and corporations on democratic decision-making systems. Spirituality and connection to the Earth are the center of his life. When he’s not being such a serious activist, Will is a Radical Fairie named Rootball, a Naraya dancer, a nerd, and a hiker.
