Our board of directors' primary responsibilities are Fundraising, Ambassadorship, & Governance. If you're ready to dig in and raise financial and other support for the organization, connect & spread the word about GH in the community, or lending financial/legal/managment skills to the organization, please apply! Our board also has a lot of fun as they work to grow and sustain our blossoming organization; board members 8-12 hours a month to the organization. We're also accepting non-board committee members in fund development. If you are ready to jump into philanthropy or share your experience in raising financial resources, consider joining one of our teams. Our Growing Hope Fund Development and Growing Hope Center Capital Campaign committees are accepting applications for membership! If you are interested in applying to be a board or committee member, email your resume and a brief note about your interest to amanda@growinghope.net. If you haven't yet, you can also get started on our Volunteer Application, and mention your interest in board or committee service!

Growing Hope incorporated on May 23, 2003-- meaning that this Sunday, May 23, 2010 will be our 7th birthday. We sure have grown-- and grown with all of you and an amazing community around us! We emerged from the Perry Learning Garden (recently tranformed into a plot-rental community garden) and early youth programming efforts we did with support and mentorship from Creative Change Educational Solutions and others. Come celebrate with us on Sunday from 1-4 pm at the Growing Hope Center! There will be pizza baked in our adobe oven by Silvio of Silvio's Organic Pizza, a sandcastle contest, tours of the hoophouse, our bees, and the overall work in progress that is the GHC! Donations requested of $.07-$70,000, and anywhere in between! Fun for the whole family. RSVP to let us know you're coming.
