I served on the Worcester Arts Council for 3.5 years- volunteering as an art advocate and helping to impact my community through all types of arts.
Why are you participating?
I participated in serving as a volunteer on the Worcester Arts Council because I had a passion and love of Worcester and wanted to help my community.

I volunteer for my kids' schools and PTO, I have a rescue dog and two rescue cats, and participate in Relay for Life and Livestrong events every summer. I would rather be "making memories" for my children than doing almost anything else.
Why are you participating?
People often make judgments on first glance and have to be convinced otherwise by interacting with the person a while. And some people don't even interact, so changing their mind isn't even an option. That's sad.

My kids and I deliver vegan desserts to neighbors.
Why are you participating?
The older I get, the less comfortable I am with labels - both for myself and others. Life is about change and evolution and eventual dissolution. So we must learn to unlearn, let go, and offer freedom to others and ourselves.

My husband and I are Foster Parents. We provide a safe, stable, happy home for those children who may not be as fortunate and in the process teach our own children to be tolerate and the benefits of giving back.
Why are you participating?
It's a good cause and I like what it stands for. I've been judged wrongly because I'm shy, because I choose to have tattoos, because I was young when I had my boys. It's no fun to be judged on outwards appearances.

I launched a non-profit called The Learning Hub in an effort to increase STEAM accessibility through the revitalization of local libraries and provide a free, interactive learning experience for children as young as 6 years old.

Always putting others first. Treating all people, regardless of circumstance, as I would like to be treated.
Tell Us Your Good Deed
Good deeds can stem from holding a door to picking up trash. As a retired New York City science teacher I tried each day to bring excitement of learning to my students. Often this took great patience and empathy. I sincerely hope that I instilled possibilities for their future in their hearts and minds. A compliment can instill confidence. It is a very simple good deed with immense power.
Why are you participating?
I participated on a very hot day in Worcester, Massachusetts. I was with my six year old granddaughter and wanted her to not feel shy so I decided to jump right in when asked. The word evil was interesting. I wasn't sure what it was all about and was curious. What the hell!

I foster dogs that are in high kill shelters in the Mid-West, and have no other place to go
Why are you participating?
To show people that you can NEVER judge a book by its cover. I want to show my two daughters that they can be proud of who they are, no matter what others say or how they may be judged. Hopefully, when they are older, they won't be discouraged by being different and independent.
