Emily Grace Clark

Emily is a committed direct service provider and advocate for people who are experiencing homelessness. She has a professional, creative, and spiritual toolkit that helps her bring diverse communities together into unique and influential networks. She taps into our elders, our musicians, our academics, our unhoused, our youth, and she strikes up conversations and projects that improve social and spiritual conditions for all who know and work with her. Emily Grace was a co-founder of the Sunrise Navigation Center with Mark Hilbelink. She has worked with and built trust among unhoused community members for a decade and still volunteers to support the health and wellbeing of people who live on the streets with local paramedics and constables. Currently a hospice chaplain supporting end-of-life care for people across Central Texas, Emily Grace uses her 25 years of work as a professional musician to share music and make community and peace in the face of adversity.
