VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE

1000 Hands Playground

Volunteer builds coordinated by Wayne Lurix at Cincinnati Recreation Commission with Leathers and Associates http://www.playgroundsbyleathers.com/ Construction Captain for 5 builds: Mt. Washington, Dunham Recreation Center, Northside, Roselawn, and Sawyer Point.

As a captain we were responsible for keeping the volunteers assigned to duties that gave them ownership over the project while completing the build in 4 days. Leathers and Associates felt they could push new concepts at us as they knew Cincinnati had the same captains turn out every single time. There were around 7 of us that would come together every time a playground build was announced.
