Shoestring Spotlight – Victoria Meek

It’s time for July’s Shoestring Spotlight! Victoria Meek is a volunteer art teacher at our Project Rise summer camp and has worked with Shoestring students for two years. When we asked her what she enjoyed about her weekly art classes, she had the following to say.

“Leading a weekly art class at Operation Shoestring has become a highlight of my Summer. It’s not easy keeping young attention spans engaged, but when they get to making, they love to share! Each child has a different approach – some demand attention, others don’t – so I like to connect with everyone individually to reflect on their work & reinforce their creativity. As an experienced artist & developing art instructor, the incredible support of the OS team is a big deal for me — I feel so lucky!”
