Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors has decades of experience, both in the nonprofit arena and corporate world. Combined, these professionals work tirelessly to fulfill our mission to help young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

"My favorite part about the organization is the group of teens I work with. I felt like I knew teens well when I started, but I realized over time that connecting with teens was a welcomed challenge. That drew me even more! I committed to learning new ways to engage them."
