An Interview With Meryl Sheriden, Chief Development Officer, Horizons for Homeless Children

Our Playspace Programs have been providing Greater Boston family homeless shelters with Playspaces and trained volunteers (called Playspace Activity Leaders or PALs) since 1990, and have expanded to provide these services to children in over 140 family shelters throughout Massachusetts. The PALs engage children in educational activities, giving each child an opportunity to learn and grow from these interactions, as well as have fun. Over 2,000 children in Massachusetts each week are served through the Playspace Programs.
