Progressive Democrats of Cambridge - DFA

When I was in college, I volunteered for an innovative educational program called PeaceGames. PeaceGames teaches grade and middle school children about the principles of nonviolence, and practical lessons in getting along peacefully. In addition to the lessons on nonviolence, PeaceGames includes a mentorship/tutoring component. When I was a volunteer, I wore two hats: one as an assistant volunteer teacher on nonviolence, and another as a tutor to third graders who needed help reading. It was a great, rewarding way to help out the Boston public schools.

In about a week, the group will host an exciting event called PeaceRocks Boston: May 22, 2007 at the Roxy in Boston. The event will have some great music - James Montgomery, Bill Paxton, Rashida Jones, and Donal Logue, among others - and a silent auction.

It should be a great event - check it out!

I'm now serving on an advisory board for an upcoming PeaceGames technology initiative, although only in a volunteer capacity for the time being.
