## Resource

For more than six decades, Sandra Sokol has devoted her life to building stronger, more equitable communities. Although she once imagined a career teaching in schools serving children of color her path evolved into groundbreaking volunteer and public service work focused on education, housing, and economic development. Many of the initiatives she helped launch grew into lasting organizations that continue to serve their communities today. Her leadership eventually carried her into local government, where she became a powerful advocate for collaboration, justice, and community-building. Now, in what she calls her “return to volunteering,” Sandra remains deeply engaged in advancing equity and opportunity for all. At 84, she reflects on a lifetime of service shaped by one enduring belief: meaningful change happens when people work together for the common good. “I learned to think holistically about people and community—about education, housing, economic development—issues that concern all of us.” - Sandra Sokol Connect with Sandra: Email: sandrasokol@sbcglobal.net Shining the Light on Age-Wise Collective, a group of women podcasters championing pro-aging voices.
