Confidence learned in Rec takes her far Eugene Rec has taught Emma Silvers a great deal, though one of the most enduring benefits of her lifelong relationship with Rec is a boundless confidence and optimism that has allowed her to keep achieving her goals. “Being able to handle six 5-year-olds, an angry parent and a kid with a bee allergy at one time? Everything else is easy,” Silvers, 22, said before graduating from the University of Oregon with a journalism degree in public relations.

Silvers, a 2012 graduate of South Eugene High School, grew up in Rec, starting off taking dance classes and attending yearly summer camps. Then, when she turned 14, Silvers

started working in Rec as a counselor in training at Amazon Community Center. It wasn’t long before she was running programs.

Silvers applied the foundation and life skills learned in Rec to her college life with amazing results. She received a Ford Family Foundation scholarship that paid for 90 percent of her college expenses. At the UO she dove right into student government, became the president of her sorority, worked with the Children’s Miracle Network, did work study with the Conduct and Discipline Office, was chosen to attend a prestigious program with LeadersShape and
