Lynn Yoshikawa

Lynn joined the CALP Network in 2017 as a Regional Representative and transitioned to the role of Head of Network Development in 2021. Her first humanitarian job, pre-2004 tsunami, involved the provision of CVA to urban refugees when little to no technical guidance existed. Since then, she has been involved in research, evaluations, policy, and advocacy at the response and regional levels, as well as in headquarters. Prior to joining the CALP Network, Lynn worked as a consultant, as well as with ACAPS, InterAction, the Jesuit Refugee Service, Oxfam, and Refugees International. She graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles and completed her master’s degree at Uppsala University. She is based in Nova Scotia, Canada.

As Head of Network Development, Lynn works to ensure active collaboration across the diversity of the CALP Network to ensure crisis-affected people receive the best possible assistance. Feel free to reach out with your ideas to strengthen CALP’s work.
