Lupine Reppert has been working in the out-of-school time field for nearly twenty years. She started as a summer camp counselor while in college – it seemed like a “fun and easy” summer gig. She quickly discovered that the work was not at all easy - and that she was hooked! As a young person, camp had been the only place where Lupine felt accepted for who she was and where she truly belonged – it was incredibly rewarding as an adult to create this same environment for youth and staff. Lupine went on to serve in many roles in a range of youth development organizations including staff development and training for LA’s BEST After School Enrichment afterschool program, and as the Director of Education for the American Camp Association, Southern CA/HI. She later strengthened her fundraising and organizational management capacity as the Vice President of Client Services for Arrowhead Management Company, a fundraising consulting firm responsible for raising hundreds of thousands of dollars in partnership with non-profit organizations each year.

Growing up in Wasco, a small town in California’s Central Valley, significantly shaped Lupine’s life and perspective. She holds a deep love and affinity for the small town experience – walking barefoot around town, seeing the entire community at Friday night football games and meeting up with friends in the almond fields. Lupine also walked away with a deep commitment to educational equity and justice, having experienced the first-hand impact of attending an underfunded, and under-resourced public school.

Lupine has been involved with CalSAC since 2009, serving in various leadership roles such as Los Angeles County Chapter President, Board of Directors External Vice President, and Director of Development. She has a Bachelor of Arts in English and Music from UCLA, and a Master of Public Administration from USC. In her free time, you'll find Lupine outdoors - running, hiking, camping and kayaking or indoors - swing dancing.
