As changemakers, we help to create a culture of encouragement and community impact for those who face systematic barriers. Our Board of Directors bring a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and perspective to the table. 

 

Our altruistic spirit is a shining example of humanity's capacity for compassion and empathy towards those who are marginalized.  We are here  to promote community spirit, foster connections, build relationships, and provide a sense of belonging among our volunteers with different backgrounds. 

 

The board values diversity and inclusivity, bringing a wide range of perspectives to making informed decisions and support creativity. Advocating and networking to influence the organization's mission and initiatives helps raise its profile and impact. We contribute to the health and vibrancy of democratic societies by actively participating in community development, advocacy, and civic engagement.
