Pam has a bachelor's degree in quantitative analysis and professionally, over 15 years of actuarial and underwriting experience. Outside of Kids Share Workshops, Pam works as the underwriting director for a local non-profit. Pam believes in the healing power of positive thought, music, and other forms of art. She is passionate about helping children find and use their voice. This can be hard for some children, especially those who were raised in a neglectful, abusive, or otherwise dysfunctional home environment. She has found that the arts have a powerful way of bringing children out of their shells and helping them realize their value and connection with the human family. Pam lives in central Vermont with her children. Pam is enthusiastic about Kids Share Workshops potential to empower children, spread joy, and provide a positive growth experience for the children and adults involved with their work. *Pam is one of KSW original co-founders.

Newton Baker and Roger Crowley volunteered during the first two years of PFC & KSW by giving countless hours, much moral support and valuable teaching skills. They are dearly missed. We owe much gratitude to both of them for our success!
Newton is a retired elementary school teacher of 35 years and a Vermont National Writing Project Teacher Leader. His passions are writing, especially with kids, and ultra-running where he is the National 24 Hour Run age group champion the past 6 years with a personal best of 120 miles. A native Vermonter and graduate of Middlebury College, Newton lives in Montpelier with his wife Diane, son Silas 13, and daughter Devin 9. He has two older children, Jessica and Jeremy and 3 grand-children. Newton donated much of his time and good spirits instructing a writing project for the Superheroes: Muscular Dystrophy & Union Elementary students. In addition, Newton initiated Portraits for Charity's™ first workshops at Union Elementary, with Ash Brittenham, and at Thatcher Brook Primary School. Later, Portraits for Charity became Kids Share Workshops. Many thanks Newton!!!
