As part of the official Y Scouts kick off, we are conducting a “What’s Your Why” tour to help promote our belief that the intersection of purpose, passion and work is achievable.
The “What’s Your Why” tour captures “why people work” through photos. Here are some of the “why’s” that drive the people who work at The Children’s Museum of Phoenix, a place that engages the minds, muscles and imaginations of children and the grown-ups who care about them.
