STAFF BIOS
Gayle White
Executive Director
Gayle decided when she was in the 3rd grade that she wanted to be a teacher. This path led her to the University of Wisconsin where she earned her degree in Elementary Education and Environmental Studies.After a year of teaching 6th grade on the North side of Chicago, she decided to head West in search of cleaner air and a stronger sense of community. Upon learning more about the challenges facing Portland’s Public Schools, Gayle chose to combine her love for teaching with her concern for the environment through a year of service with AmeriCorps as the first-ever Volunteer Manager for Schoolhouse Supplies.
This experience inspired Gayle to continue her involvement as a full-time staff member, later transitioning into the Development Director position in 2005. In February of 2007, Gayle became the Executive Director at Schoolhouse Supplies with the goal of establishing the free store as a permanent fixture of innovation and support in the community.
