Evidence
Before I was involved as a facilitator for the Community Gathering, I would walk down the street and adults looked at me like I was some trouble-causing kid. Now when I walk down the street, adults that I didn’t know before say hi to me, stop me to tell me what a great job I did and talk to me about the conversations of that weekend. — David Sobel, Place-Based Education, 50 (
