Jan Oberkramer
Program Director
Jan Oberkramer joined The Green Center staff in February 2006. As Education Manager, she is responsible for coordinating and developing The Green Center’s youth educational programming, including student art displays and performances. In addition, she recruits and manages our contract and volunteer instructors. By applying a best practices approach, Jan is expanding our volunteer instructor program by attracting and retaining skilled individuals from the greater St. Louis region. Jan says, "I thoroughly enjoy working and interacting with our many dedicated volunteers!" Most recently, Jan was a program coordinator at the Missouri Botanical Garden's Shaw Nature Reserve. She also has been involved with Girl Scouts, Stream Team, Project Wet, and Project Learning Tree. As her colleagues can attest, one of Jan's other talents is being a superb cook.
