A fourth-generation Nevadan, Joe Kennedy brings a wealth of diverse experiences to his leadership role at Get Outdoors Nevada. Having taught English in Japan, received an Emmy nomination for his costume design work on The Mindy Project and directed development at Teach For America Las Vegas, Kennedy’s talents are extensive and consistently service-oriented.
His profound love for storytelling and education made him a prime candidate for the executive director position at Get Outdoors Nevada, where his enthusiasm for new ideas and projects propels him to great heights. Kennedy masterfully combines his knowledge of education, a passion for the outdoors and knack for community outreach to inspire Nevadans to connect with nature.
Kennedy is particularly proud that he has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars through grant writing for causes he cares about. In addition to the work he does for the community through his job, Kennedy also volunteers as an English Language Learner support tutor at UNLV and serves on the advisory board for the UNLV University Libraries.
