Please allow me to introduce you to "No Fear Advocate" Ms. Gail Pryor of Nicetown Philadelphia. i
met Ms. Gail at Eastern Service Workers Association Halloween party last year. We both had our cameras and started talking photography and other interest we hold in common. I mentioned how i would like to start a knitting campaign during the summer called "Crochet Corners" where we flash mob a corner with crochet needles and yarn. Teaching our community members how to utilize that idol time crocheting. Gail said she was interested.
I interviewed Ms. Pryor to learn more from this well connected to resources block captain. Ms. Pryor volunteers in her community connecting the disconnected neighbors to life enhancing resources. We spoke about her role at Vocatio Hunting Park Career Prep High School located at 4455 N. 6th Street.
Vocatio operates in the summer and Saturdays year round, much like of an out of school facility. The connectibility at Vocatio is created by caring adults of diverse backgrounds, who often volunteer their talents and listening ear to build our youth and community. Vocatio was founded by Andy Kim and service residents in the 19140 community. Students are exposed to welding and other vocational trades leading to livable wages and entrepreneurship!! Ms. Pryor assist with community outreach and support services.
Ms. Gail Pryor also advocates for families with disabilities. She has a thirty two year old son who labeled retared it. Today his condition would be put under an umbrella of autism and Ms. Pryor feels that avoids treatment based on individual conditions. We are looking to erase the labeling and support people where they are. I'm currently advocating for inclusion at my grandson school for my autistic niece.
