READING, Pa. — Oftentimes, we give love when we feel loved, we succeed when we're shown we can, and we see the good in ourselves when someone cares. At the Reading Recreation Commission, Program Director Heather Boyer has been showing up for kids for 30 years.
In the summer of 1992, Heather was hired as a playground leader, and she's been there ever since.
"They're crazy, they're fun, but at the end of the day, they're kids, you know, and they're our future, and Lord knows we need a whole lot of positive people to impact them and let them know that, you know, they can be great and do big things," Heather said.
"The kids need guidance, and it gets them off the streets, and so everything that she does to try to draw them in and excite them and keep them in the program, I definitely think she's saved some lives," said Samantha Frees, the principal at 12th and Marion Elementary School.
