I read the news. Daily. I vote. I donate a couple bucks every week to places that fight to end homelessness. I organize clothing drives. I tell my friends and family about how they can change the world. I volunteer. I'm a leader in a group of young professionals who think Dayton is a GREAT place to live, work and play. I have a web site that connects people who want to volunteer to places that need volunteers. All for free. Why? BECAUSE I WANT TO BE A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER.

How do YOU live united?
Who I'd like to meet: I want to meet youth, adults and groups who are interested in doing something to help their communities. Whether you've never volunteered before or you participate in community service once a week, I can find a place that needs your help today.

how i live united: i love and enjoy and involve my son in an as many things as possible. we go places. we talk to people. we make things and listen and learn and question and explore and read and ride our bikes and plant seeds. in the rest of my life, i do my best to keep up with news, i vote even when i don;t like the choices and i write the choices and tell them what i think, i send letters to newspapers and politicians, i post what i can and share what i think needs sharing. i look for commonalities and explore differences. and if that's not specific enough, i work, i pay my bills, i have a good time, and i think about the things that i do and use and consume and discard every day. often, i take convenient paths, but i try more and more to take the more challenging but collective path. i give money, i make blankets to donate, i tutor. most of all, i dream--about good things and bad--and i share them all. ultimately, nothing changes if we don't question, and learn, and talk.
