If you see something that needs to be done, and you feel like you could maybe do something there, step in and see what happens. I’ll bet there’s going to be folks around that will guide you along and you can probably learn, too.”

Underground Good: Karen Lee

“For me, community is when a group of individuals come together, regardless of differences, for a common goal…a greater good and try to do something. That could be my Mien community, my work community, or my community here in Shasta County.”
