Our Team
The people are a huge part of what makes Sherwood Forest more than just a camp, but a home away from home. The work that Sherwood Forest does wouldn’t be possible without our incredible team of year-round staff and our dedicated board of directors.
Our Staff
Sherwood Forest’s highly qualified staff has more than a century of combined experience. It includes individuals with advanced degrees in social work, education, public policy, and nonprofit management. Staff regularly contributes to the growing body of knowledge in these areas through volunteer leadership roles with the American Camp Association, St. Louis Graduates, the Association of Fundraising Professionals, and Missouri Foundation for health. Our year-round staff members are passionate about helping kids discover the best in themselves so they can grow up to do good in the world. Meet our team:

Jackie Boyd
Jackie was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma before attending the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. During an internship at a local food bank, she discovered her passion for nonprofit fundraising, event management, and coordinating volunteers. Since then, she has coordinated a wide range of events, including galas, golf tournaments, restaurant weeks, and more. When she’s not working, Jackie enjoys baking, gardening, and all things crafts. She loves spending her free time with her husband, their two dogs, Bruce and Peggy, and cat, Iris.
Kate McGilly
Kate joined Sherwood in 2022. She has over 25 years’ experience in non-profit grants and project management. Prior to joining Sherwood Forest, she spent over 20 years at Parents as Teachers National Center. She also worked at the United Way of Greater St. Louis. Having worked for so long in an organization focused on Early Childhood, moving to an organization with a focus on Elementary–High School felt like a natural next step.
Kate really enjoys the challenge of assembling grant proposals, so she was excited for the opportunity to focus on doing that for a thriving organization like Sherwood Forest. Knowing that the grants we receive go directly to supporting deserving youth in the region is very rewarding.
Kate grew up in Canada. She has her Bachelor’s of Science from McGill University and her Ph.D. in developmental psychology from Carnegie Mellon University.
Her hobbies include playing ukulele, walking, estate and garage sale shopping, and listening to great folk music.

Lauren Wright
Lauren, an UMSL alum, joined Sherwood Forest’s development team in the fall of 2018. Having previously held roles at the Missouri Botanical Garden and St. Patrick Center, she has experience in a variety of non-profit development areas including database operations, volunteer management, grant writing, events, and stewardship. Lauren’s other interests include gardening, fixing up her new home, and spending quality time with her dog, Greta.

Bobby Goldberg
Bobby Goldberg was born to travel, learn from different cultures, and help the young enterprising spirits of the world. Born and raised in the melting pot of New Jersey, he stayed East, graduating college in New England. From there, he decided to go further East, teaching in academies in South Korea. There he met his wife, and helped create two beautiful, feral children. Soon after, they decided to move (you guessed it!) East to find Home in the mid-West. In his wife’s home-state of Missouri, he learned that Acts of Service was his Love Language and decided to learn how to work with his hands. After framing houses for two years, he found an opportunity to use his developing trade skills to help the young enterprising spirits of Missouri. When he isn’t working at Sherwood Forest, he is running wild with his growing-too-fast feral babies and his all-too-brilliant, star-crossed lover.
