Have Fun - Do Good

AUGUST 29, 2006

I've been doing volunteer work for a long time, and although I'm not entirely sure that it has improved my leadership, communication and problem-solving skills, it always improves my mood, very often teaches me something and occasionally has led to a new job.

The podcast isn't up yet, but here is a partially modified transcription of our conversation which you can also read along with profiles of other Solutionary Women on Blogher : What is SOUL? And in terms of how I got involved with SOUL, I was actually teaching for a very brief period in the Oakland middle schools. So I’m only 26.

Have Fun - Do Good

JUNE 7, 2006

Last month I wrote a short post for Blogher, Roadies for a Cause , about a nonprofit called Lokahi Outreach , that partners with organizations like the ONE campaign and Oxfam to help them do grassroots campaigning on the road. I lead my students when I teach. It’s rewarding to know we had a part in that.
