Many volunteers worry that they won’t do a good job. But what we can learn from Boswell is that it’s almost always worth giving something a try. When she went to that first SIEPC meeting, she didn’t even know if she would get involved, but left as vice chairperson.
Also, Boswell has helped with a number of cross-cultural efforts to help children explore their Native American heritage and promote understanding of all racial and ethnic communities.
