Collinwood | Youth and Families
Chanell Boyd has committed herself to the service of others. Through her service she’s become a mentor and advocate for school parent groups. Her experience has shown her that organized parent groups can provide consistency and foster a sense of community for students in schools that experience constant leadership changes, as well as assist children with the transition through activities and events. Volunteering in a local school and hosting annual events like community movie screenings and book fairs led her to launch “Books and Blankets with the Boyds”, a summer reading activity designed to give her children and their friends something fun and engaging to do together. Her long-term goals are to encourage and inspire families with community engagement, change the dynamics of family and school engagement, further develop “Books and Blankets with the Boyds” and continue her mentoring endeavors. Chanell also serves as a board member for the non-profit #FosterCare.
