Genny Gerke joins Global Gardens as Food Hub Manager

Global Gardens, a program of the Idaho Office for Refugees, is excited to welcome Genny Gerke as Food Hub Manager.

Genny comes to Global Gardens with a passion for local food and extensive experience in environmental and outdoor education. She holds a bachelor's degree in Environmental Studies from The College of Idaho and a master's in Bioregional Planning and Community Design from the University of Idaho.

Genny is committed to community-focused, mission-driven work, and she enjoys making connections and building relationships.

As an avid runner, mountain biker, and rafter, Genny loves to explore Idaho's outdoors with her husband and dog. If she must be inside, she can be found cooking plant-based meals or curled up with a good book.

Genny feels fortunate to have volunteered for or worked with many wonderful local organizations making a difference in their community, including Roots Forest School, The Hunger Coalition, The College of Idaho, Foothills Learning Center, Wild Hearts Idaho, and the McCall Outdoor Science School (MOSS), among others.
