Julia

Julia Ferra is passionate about seeing Cleveland thrive. She believes the only way to see impactful and sustainable change is to provide a megaphone to the many voices in the community. Through her position as Graduate Support Manager at NLDP, Julia seeks to support engaged citizens in the community who have visions of a better Cleveland. She volunteers at Ohio City Bicycle Co-op (OCBC) to help the non-profit achieve their mission in promoting bicycle use in Greater Cleveland through their safe cycling and bike repair education programs and cooperative bike shop. Julia helps with volunteering efforts at OCBC and is hoping to become more familiar with bike mechanics so she can help others become comfortable in riding bikes as a sustainable mode of transportation in Cleveland. Julia is a graduate of Cleveland State University where she fell in love with sustainability, racial equity and planning while working to obtain her degree in Urban Studies.
