Erin Coulter was raised in a family that enjoyed the privilege of being white and middle class. She married into a family that had the same privilege, however had also embraced a social justice conscience. Raising her children was her main focus for almost 30 years, doing some business bookkeeping, organic gardening, food preserving, kayaking and hiking when time allowed.
Currently, she spends her time enjoying three granddaughters, building up their organic farm, preserving their own foods, and volunteering for several activist organizations.
She began volunteering for the Pipe Up Network in March of 2014 when she took on the bookkeeping; that led to becoming a Director later in the year. Pipe Up is a group with very active members and the many opportunities to be involved gives her a place to utilize some of the skills she has obtained over the years. Appreciation is always given for work done, which keeps one motivated and ready to step up again.
