Board Membership
Friends seeks to engage a wide cross-sector of our community to ensure that our organization is reflective of the diversity of the neighbors we serve. We are looking for neighbors to take a deeper step with us as committee members and potential board members.
If you have an interest in helping grow our tree canopy and park landscape, making the benefits of green spaces available to all, let us know here!
