Emma Strother

Principal Associate

Emma is an advocate for youth empowerment, education systems change, and social entrepreneurship. At ERS, she supports public school districts across the country to pilot and scale new models of the teaching job.

Prior to ERS, Emma led development and communications at LearnServe International, a non-profit organization empowering DC-area youth to launch social ventures in their own communities and learn from social entrepreneurs in Jamaica, Paraguay, South Africa, and Zambia. She also worked as a public sector consultant with State agencies across New England on digital government, climate, and disaster relief projects.

In 2016, Emma helped produce the first American-Cuban music festival in Havana since the reopening of diplomatic relations. Her journal article “Political Economy and Global Arts for Social Change: A Comparative Analysis of Youth Orchestras in Venezuela and Chile” is published in the Arts Education Policy Review.
