Katherine Evering-Rowe

The Food Project (Boston)

Katherine is a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist based in Philadelphia. “While I have been passionate about healing and the mind since childhood, experiences navigating racism, sexism, and homophobia left me with a burning curiosity about the intersection between the systemic and the psychological. My path toward and approach to psychotherapy have been heavily influenced by this interest.”

Kayla (Peck) Hopgood

Strong Women, Strong Girls (Boston)

I gave birth to our daughter, Alma Jeanne Hopgood, on July 29th. I’m continuing to serve in a part-time capacity for a small faith-based nonprofit while caring for both Alma and my toddler, Felix. I’m also in the discernment process to find an ordained call to the ministry of Word and Sacrament within the ELCA. It’s an exciting time.

"At the end of the day, no matter our line of nonprofit work, it is about the welfare of people. I'm grateful for the ways I grew to understand that during my time as a Fellow and for how it helped to shape my calling."
