Our volunteers are a diverse bunch. They come to us from the four corners of the globe, different ethnicities, ages, genders, religions, but the one thing they all share is a desire to help. They are the beating heart of Serve the City. They are dedicated individuals, role models to young people and future leaders. But who are they really?<\/em><\/p>\n

In our volunteer spotlight we introduce you to one of our volunteers and find out some unusual and interesting facts about them. Let me introduce you to \u2026.. Nate!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Where were you born?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tampa, Florida – USA<\/p>\n

What language(s) do you speak?<\/strong><\/p>\n

English; basic Spanish; toddler French<\/p>\n

What does STCP mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

STCP means inclusion. It is an organization open to anyone, from any culture or background, as long as they come with an open heart and a passion to help others in need.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re not volunteering, how do you spend your time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I work in sustainability, so frequent newsletters, podcasts, books, city initiatives which put people and the planet central. I also co-direct a children’s home in Nepal which brings me a lot of joy (Visit Nepal! –\u00a0https:\/\/www.risinglotuschildrensvillage.org\/<\/a>). I enjoy museum hopping (when in Paris right!?), planning visits with friends around Europe, playing \/ watching football (soccer*) and biking the city as much as I can. Ahh, and live music!<\/p>\n

What is your favorite hobby?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Socializing if that counts! Otherwise, coaching soccer.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite meal?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Highly specific here but a Lebanese vegan sandwich called the Ali’s Incredible (Falafel | Hummus | Eggplant | Cauliflower | Mix salad | Pomegranate sauce)<\/p>\n

With which person living or deceased would you like to eat that meal?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ernest Hemingway<\/p>\n

What is your idea of perfect happiness?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gatherings of people who I’ve befriended and who I admire, simply connecting with each other. Nothing makes me happier than making (and fostering) connections, seeing others enjoy themselves.<\/p>\n

Which living person do you most admire?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Noam Chomsky<\/p>\n

Which talent would you most like to have?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unwavering Discipline<\/p>\n

What do you consider your greatest achievement?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Creating a community in Orlando, FL through the youth soccer community. Although I no longer have any \u00ab\u00a0blood\u00a0\u00bb family in Florida, it will always be home for me, because of the commitment of families who were and are dedicated to developing value-driven, giving, young men and women.<\/p>\n

If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0A whale.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
