The idea of community and helping others has always been a part of who I am. Growing up, my parents always made sure that my siblings and I were doing our part to serve our local community.

I want to raise up the next generation of young people who are going to run this community. I need for them to understand government and how it works.

We all have a way to contribute, to your community, to your family, whatever it is you can do.

With my new venture, Club Mom, we want to empower moms to feel their value and also build their collective power to make their lives better and easier. We want to bring them together as a community to share experiences and information.

I learned about community organizing from my parents. As a child, their stories were so instructive.

I try to give a voice to teens, who might be afraid to speak up about difficult issues, and a platform for parents and teachers to have frank, meaningful discussions with those young people.

I've always wanted to be sure my parents approve of what I do.

It is incumbent upon all of us to build communities with the educational opportunities and support systems in place to help our youth become successful adults.

I support organizations that help people do better for themselves and the community.

I would like to somehow make the community I live in a better place to live.
