Quaker minister guiding second tiny house village for homeless young adults

Sally Hindman was expected to be a debutante. She nixed that idea when she was a junior in high school. She told her mother she didn't want to be presented to society. Her chosen path veered dramatically away from her childhood in a wealthy Chicago suburb. One defining experience was when Hindman was six years old and the family cleaning lady listened with her to Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. As she grew, Hindman became aware of dramatic differences in people's lives and discovered her calling to encourage the homeless and those on the margins through art and social justice. She grew up in a Methodist family, but found her path with the Quakers. She founded Young Spirit Artworks in Berkeley, California. Working with young people evolved into guiding the creation of the first tiny house village for young adults in Oakland. The second project is the Richmond Tiny House Village, Farm and Garden in Richmond, California where young adults will have the opportunity to learn culinary skills. The tiny house villages are created through a wide financial and volunteer support network of churches, synagogues, businesses, schools and local organizations.
An essential element of Hindman's work is encouraging and guiding young people to
take major roles in envisioning and building the tiny house villages.
