Jeremy Pivor

Partnership & Youth Engagement Director

As a teen, Jeremy grew up volunteering with both Jane Goodall’s Roots and Shoots youth program and the New England Aquarium, building a passion for youth leadership and ocean conservation. Since University, Jeremy has spent most of his career working to address environmental issues in both domestic and international settings through partnership and coalition building as well as global community engagement.

At Bow Seat, he oversees external partnerships and manages the True Blue Fellowship, creating leadership and capacity building opportunities for youth worldwide. Before Bow Seat, Jeremy served as Senior Program Coordinator at the Planetary Health Alliance, where he focused on building international and regional coalitions to address the Earth and health crises. Prior to that, he lived and worked in Indonesia twice. First, as a Henry Luce Foundation Scholar with the Coral Triangle Center to connect local ocean conservation efforts with government, international development, and non-profit partners. Second, as a research coordinator for Health in Harmony (where he now serves on the Associate Board), to conduct a community health and environment landscape survey across 23 villages near a joint medical and forest conservation facility in Kalimantan with medical and conservation staff, community, Indigenous, and government colleagues.

Jeremy received an MS in public health from the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health’s Joint Medical Program, and a BA in environmental biology from Washington University in St. Louis, where he graduated summa cum laude as an Ethan A.H. Shepley Scholar, the University’s highest honor. He loves to sail, play board games, and spoil his nieces and nephews.
