Q&A with Pat Connell<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In one word, how would your friends, family, or colleagues\u00a0describe you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Entertaining<\/p>\n

What was your\u00a0first volunteer experience like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I first participated in a volunteer event in Duluth, MN in 1975\u00a0collecting money for charities.<\/p>\n

What motivates you to volunteer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I believe in social justice.\u00a0Everyone deserves a place to dwell, enough food to eat, and clothes to wear.<\/p>\n

What have you found most\u00a0inspiring during your volunteer work with Playworks?<\/strong><\/p>\n

How eager the students are to participate in the games, and the conflict resolution of rock, paper, scissors.<\/p>\n

What do you wish people to know about Playworks?<\/strong><\/p>\n

How well Playworks deals with the problems of bullying and cliques by something as simple as rock, paper, scissors as a conflict resolver.<\/p>\n

Q&A with Cindy Porter<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In one word, how would your friends, family, or colleagues\u00a0describe you? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Kind<\/p>\n

What was your first volunteering experience like? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I can’t remember when I first volunteered but I have volunteered a lot of times at the different schools I work at.<\/p>\n

What motivates you to volunteer? <\/strong><\/p>\n

It makes you feel good about yourself.<\/p>\n

What have you found most\u00a0inspiring during your volunteer work with Playworks?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being able to teach young people about leadership and responsibility.<\/p>\n

What do you wish people to know about Playworks?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

That recess can be used to reinforce the positive leadership going on at the school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
