Wendy Flick

Wendy L. Flick is manager of UUSC's Haiti Relief Program. She travels to Haiti frequently to continually assess the needs of survivors, to identify and support grassroots partners in serving marginalized and neglected populations in the recovery process, and to develop long-term strategies with partners for Haiti's reconstruction.  

Flick's work in the Programs Department is part of UUSC's integrated Haiti response, which also includes the additional components of policy, advocacy, and volunteers. The policy aspect strives to ensure that Haitian voices are included in the international conversation about the reconstruction of Haiti. The volunteer program will enable members and supporters to participate firsthand in rebuilding the homes, communities, and livelihoods of survivors whose lives were shattered by the devastating earthquake.

Previously, Flick served as director of programs for the Pond Foundation from 2000 to 2009, collaborating with Haitian-led grassroots organizations to create sustainable development programs in permaculture, renewable energies, food security, and potable water. She has also been involved extensively in women's-rights work in Africa for the past decade, including on the issue of female genital mutilation. Flick is a graduate of Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government with a master's degree in public administration.
