Raised hands of different skin colors

We were flooded with feedback after last month's discussion about people and organizations making positive change in the community, so we've decided to bring it back. This month, we highlight a new group of do-gooders who discuss their work and their goals for helping others:

  • "Batman," student at the Rochester Institute of Technology
  • Eric Eagan, founder and president of #TrailsRoc
  • Jordin Paige, lead consultant and organizer for Being Black in the Burbs
  • Ashley Anderson, president of Hearthside Cats
  • Jaime Erskine-Pettit, co-founder of Dreams from Drake
  • Ashley Cross, Ed.D., executive director and hope giver for The Hub 585
  • Carol St. George, Ed.D., founder of Project READ, and professor of teaching and curriculum at the Warner School of Education at the University of Rochester
  • Van Stanley, owner of People's Choice Kitchen, and community activist
