Natalie Warne

Natalie Warne began her career as a Human Rights Activist at the age of 17 with Invisible Children. This early commitment led her to produce award-winning international human rights awareness campaigns, mobilizing over 150,000 young people globally. These campaigns not only captured international attention but also resulted in two pieces of legislation being passed through Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama. Her activism and its impacts have been highlighted on CNN, NPR, LA Times, and The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Warne further explored social justice issues by producing documentary content in Rwanda, focusing on women survivors of the Rwandan Genocide who became successful entrepreneurs. Upon her return to the United States, she joined TaskForce, an independent agency known for its engagement in arts, culture, and social change. At TaskForce, Warne and her team collaborated with local non-profits, artists, and brands to create immersive events and art exhibitions that tackled societal issues such as criminal justice reform, educational equity, and voter activation through initiatives like Rock the Vote.

After her tenure with TaskForce, Warne joined the MacArthur Foundation as a multimedia producer and millennial ambassador, where she produced major events and developed engagement strategies. Her expertise in mobilizing and educating youth led to her being sought out by prominent organizations such as the U.S. Department of State, Obama Foundation, Disney, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Warne has delivered a TED Talk on engaging youth in social justice movements, which has accumulated over a million views. She has addressed audiences worldwide on topics related to global activism and civic engagement. Based in Los Angeles, Warne continues to work as an Engagement Strategist, Consultant, Event Facilitator, and Speaker, focusing on equity, social justice, and inclusion.
