Lara Keen

Growing up, Lara knew she wanted to make a difference, but wasn’t sure how. Fueled by a passion for people, organization, and creativity, Lara found her calling within theatre during her university years. Whether she was acting, stage managing, designing costumes, or crafting sets, she loved juggling different tasks and making sure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. She also pursued studies in HR and marketing, building skills that would prove invaluable in her future roles.

Her background prepared her perfectly for her role as Office Administration and Services Coordinator, where she continues to work her magic behind the scenes. Lara is deeply invested in the incredible work YU youth workers do and takes pride in supporting them so they can focus on making a real impact.

Outside the office, Lara enjoys moments spent with friends and family, sipping on coffee, and hitting the gym.
