Ella Goatze - Youth Program Coordinator
Ella is a lifelong lover and avid student of the outdoors, born and raised in Vermont. After many great adventures growing up on the East Coast, they took the leap to move out to Yellowstone in 2024 to work with the Yellowstone Youth Conservation Corps. They have stuck around the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) ever since, working with Yellowstone YCC, teaching cross-country skiing and winter ecology in Bozeman, volunteering with Yellowstone interpretation, and leading educational tours in the park with Yellowstone Forever.
Ella is passionate about bringing folks into the outdoors to inspire lasting wonder, curiosity, and appreciation for the natural world. They are thrilled to start a new chapter in the GYE with MCC as a Youth Program Coordinator this summer! They can be found outside just about every day of the year hiking, trail running, stargazing, skiing, biking, and berry picking.
