Hi friends I'm Peyton and am a second year Environmental Studies and Geography (GIS emphasis) double major! As the incoming co-chapter director, I couldn't be more excited for the opportunity to lead our dedicated, bubbly, and passionate volunteers here in Santa Barbara. I hope to continue expanding our chapter and get as many UCSB students interested as possible! Through Sprout Up, I have learned that one day I want to start my own business creating environmental children's books :)
Hi everyone! My name's Christian and I am a third-year double majoring in Environmental Studies and Economics at UCSB. I chose to be a part of Sprout Up because I believe teaching a new generation about the importance of nature is the key to solving environmental problems. I also just love working with kids and being in the classroom! Outside of Sprout Up, I love taking walks to the beach, watching sunsets, and making friendship bracelets.
My name is Evan, I am a third year here at UCSB, and it is also my third year with Sprout Up! I am pursuing a B.S. in Environmental Studies, and I have placed my concentration in Geography, where I hope to expand my understanding of atmospheric sciences. It is important to me that the students do not just understand our lessons on environmentalism, but that they get excited and passionate about it. I love working in classrooms as an educator, but when I am not doing that, you can probably find me at the cliffs watching the sunset or trying out a new recipe in my kitchen.

In my free time, I love relaxing at the beach, painting, going to concerts, taking new classes (hot yoga, cooking, etc.), and spending time with family and friends.
Hi! I am Jaelee and currently a third year biology major here at UCSB, minoring in psychology! This is my second year apart of Sprout Up and I have enjoyed every second of it! Being able to make a difference in kids lives and how they view the environment has been so fulfilling. When I am not shopping for materials or inside of the library you can find me scuba diving, walking the bluffs, or somewhere with a dog!

Hi! I’m Peyton, a sophomore studying Economics and Art. I love being involved with Sprout Up because it allows me to share my passion for protecting the Earth with my students. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching kids and volunteers foster a deeper appreciation for the environment.
Hi everyone! I’m Stephen a second year Environmental Studies major at UCSB and this years Development Manager for Fundraising. Sprout Up is always the highlight of my week because I get to see first hand this new found curiosity for our shared environment and science in general. Whether it’s creating water protection posters with the students or bonding with my fellow instructors, Spout Up always puts a a smile on my face! In my free time I love talking walks in nature, playing the violin, and going out to eat with my friends!
