Former Intel Manager, Colleen Walski, Founder & CEO of Scott Foundation announces retired Intel Encore Fellow Susan Cappelloni’s transition to a new stage of work for the greater good at Scott Foundation.
Susan Cappelloni a former Intel Human Performance Technology Engineer in Technology Manufacturing Group Training, brings with her a rich history of success stories in performance gaps, instructional design and development, along with extensive knowledge as a multimedia specialist. Her new role as a Branding Engagement Project Manager, will expand program capabilities through Arizona’s foster care tax credits, to further strengthen social-purpose in a new and innovative way by partnering with community programs that leverage Susan’s talent.
“A long time co-worker, Susan and I have worked on several projects in our time together. She is an incredibly kind and caring person and will be an amazing asset to the team. It’s funny how the Universe works, bringing us back together again after all these years; this chapter, in service of at-risk youth and kids in the Arizona foster care system. We are truly grateful to Intel, the team at Experience Matters, and of course Susan for thinking so highly of our work and wanting to get involved to make a difference,” says Colleen Walski.
The Scott Foundation was established in 2007 by Scott’s Mom, Colleen Walski, and family members after the tragic passing of her son, Scott Walski. Paying tribute to her only son, Scott’s family and friends discover that while on their intended journey of re-building hope, the Universe has oddly aligned the destiny of many to make an inspiring impact that continues to unfold and enrich the fortune of Scott’s legacy and their own!
Scott Foundation provides programs FREE of cost to kids in the Arizona foster care system and at-risk youth; with a focus on developing inner wealth, their mission makes the world a more peaceful and loving place by emotionally teaching kids to make better choices through selfless service.
Offering two programs: A Practice of Compassion and Operation Toy Box; they take their commitment to the kids and community seriously. Too many youth are exposed to violence, poverty and crime, which in most cases leads to them repeating the cycle.
A Practice of Compassion cultivates mindfulness; and brings together the arts and education in a series of uplifting experiences, in a pathway through service to develop kind and caring kids that learn to first love themselves, and then naturally become our next generation Thought & Service Leaders.
In Partnership with the Arizona Department of Child Safety & Maag Toy Foundation, Scott Foundation devotes focused effort to The Children’s Heart Gallery – featuring Arizona’s children in need of a forever family.
Expressed by children presently in the foster care system, they discover the power of selfless service and how feelings can transform lives through an act of kindness.
Through Operation Toy Box, each adoptable child dedicates a filled toy box that honors their reflective story of courage, hope and inspiration. Placed in statewide DCS Offices, their story and gifts warmly acknowledge the unimaginable fear of other children coming into the foster care system.
Scott Foundation’s desired outcome breaks the cycle of poverty and violence and ultimately transforms the community by successfully graduating community-minded, “whole-people” with significantly decreased addictive and violent behaviors. This helps prevent the future need for more costly social and criminal justice services. These developing Selfless Superheroes lead the charge, stepping forward and ready to bring about social change; they are our next generation Thought & Service Leaders.
