About the Executive Director

Kirk Meyer is the former (and founding) Executive Director of the Boston Schoolyard Funders Collaborative, a group of private sector philanthropies partnering with the City of Boston on the Boston Schoolyard Initiative. The Initiative  constructed 88 new schoolyards and  won awards from the National League of Cities and the American Society of Landscape Architects. Prior to his last position, he was Director of Education for the Boston GreenSpace Alliance, a membership network of open space organizations in Boston. Kirk also helped found the Boston Food Bank and was its first Director of Corporate Affairs. During his tenure, the food bank’s membership grew to over 600 agencies and became the largest non-governmental food relief program in New England. During this period he was Chair of the Massachusetts Anti-Hunger Coalition. He currently sits on the Board of the International School Grounds Alliance and Advises the Children & Nature Network. Before entering the non-profit sector, Kirk was co-owner and President of Snow Flower Frozen Desserts (Woodstock, NY), the country’s first commercially sold and nationally distributed all natural soymilk ice cream. He has also been Interim Director (one year) of the Multi-County Community Development Corporation (Highland, NY) and has been a consultant for the Green Decade Coalition (Newton, MA). Kirk lives in Wayland, MA with his wife Susan (a former teacher). Their children, Melody Liana and Zachary Rowan, are both living in Brooklyn, NY. Grandchildren Abe and Nora are the source of much love and hilarity.
