Celeste Staples

Program Manager of Urban Climate Resilience Projects

Celeste (she/her) is a thoughtful connector and a tactical builder. Through strategy, imaginative problem-solving, and community engagement she works to bring new initiatives to life. She manages and supports projects like the Tree Equity Network and Green Schoolyards, both of which are critical efforts in our region. She also works with a number of our fiscal sponsees to support their vital programs and projects. Prior to starting her current role, she supported SPF as a contractor managing the Tree Equity Network. She joined us with years of experience working at several nonprofits, overseeing impactful programs, the most recent of which focused on equitable access to higher education for Black students. Celeste was born and raised in San Diego, California where her love for the outdoors and good food was born. Whenever she gets to go home, she finds her way to Coast Boulevard: home to her favorite bench, which overlooks La Jolla’s blue water and the marine life who inhabit it.
