Adrianna Perrien Naccarato, Assistant Director, JV Program (she/her)
As an Oregonian born and raised, I have a lot of pride in the Pacific Northwest’s natural wonders. I love learning about ecosystems and other systems that make up our world. Through studying Peace Studies, Environmental Studies, and Theology at Whitworth University, my interest in community development and ecological justice grew. I pursued a year of service with Lutheran Volunteer Corps (LVC) that bridged both worlds. During my time with LVC, I worked at an environmental nonprofit, piloting its urban community education programs in Wilmington, Delaware, where I was changed by living in intentional community. After soaking up as much of the east coast as I could, the call of Oregon’s outdoor wonderland and proximity to family drew me back to the Pacific Northwest. I’ve been with JVC Northwest since December of 2019, where I worked as their Alaska Program Coordinator. As the JV Program Assistant Director, I now support our JV communities in Seattle and Tacoma.
In my free time, you’ll find me running the trails of Eugene, Oregon, where I call home, snuggling with my two cats Jax and Nyx, or doing baking experiments for my spouse and I to enjoy. I find deep joy in connecting with others beyond the surface and spending time outside, whether that’s hiking, cross-country skiing, or paddleboarding. My communities include my local volleyball team, the Eugene Unitarian Universalists, Friends of Mt. Pisgah, and my family and friends that feel like family. Ask me about my favorite books, podcasts, and roadtrips!
