Jessica Meyer moved from Chicago to Detroit in 2011 for the Americorps program City Year Detroit and never left. She’s dabbled in education, international human rights, counseling, farming, marketing, entrepreneurship, small business development, journalism, fresh food access, micro-lending, community engagement, neighborhood development, tactical urbanism, and peer-to-peer support. Empowering others is at the core of everything she does.
