Team Leader
St. Pete Pride Parade
I will say that we had a couple of volunteers, my son included, teenager, and one of his friends, who came and wanted to contribute to building the float but we're uncomfortable. They're teenagers, so they were uncomfortable with the idea that anybody was looking at them. And so they had the opportunity to come and contribute, and saw PVC pipes, and cut chicken wire, and use a drill, and get a little bit of mentoring from our young science professionals who were leading the float building. And then they finished up their task and then went on their way. So there was even people who are very introverted and don't like the idea of being on stage, that performativeness that comes with walking through a large crowd or whatever, they contributed as well.
