Soon after graduating from the University
of Michigan, Jane Campbell joined the
VISTA
(Volunteers In Service To America) program, sometimes
called our domestic Peace Corps. After serving in
Racine, Wisconsin, she returned to Cleveland 31 years
ago. She then managed
WomenSpace, the coalition of
women’s groups whose aim was social change for the
betterment of women. She helped create the first shelter
for battered women in Ohio and worked to engage women in
community decision-making.
From 1981-83 Jane Campbell was the Executive Director of the
Friends of
Shaker Square (which later became SHAD - the Shaker
Square Area Development Corporation). She
worked on our neighborhood's main concerns: apartment
renovation, commercial renovation, and security. She
also earned a Masters degree in Urban Studies at
Cleveland State University. |
