The Power of Poetry & Play: A Conversation with America SCORES executive director, Holly O’Donnell
Abstract
Public health practice partnerships are evolving, and they are beginning to naturally spread into the realm of the social-determinants of health in more innovative ways with programming integrating elements of multiple sectors. America SCORES is such a program, combining the expressiveness of the arts with the kinetics of sports and lessons from service. Just as after-school programs can teach valuable lessons, so too can the leaders of the nonprofit organizations that support them. From memorable moments and management mantras, to the many facets of fundraising and the power of poetry, this piece attempts to capture the wisdom of a nonprofit leader and the work she and her organization accomplish to impact the complex outcome we call “healthy.”
