Want to get involved?

If you are a current or former SW or an ally and have a passion to help people flourish, this is the place for you! We need many hands on deck to assist with applications, selecting candidates, locating & acting as mentors, identifying funding alternatives, fundraising & keeping the balance sheet solid! That’s a lot and there’s room for anyone with even a few hours annually to contribute.

Great things happen when we work together towards a common goal. Please reach out here if you’d like to get involved so we can find the perfect seat with your name on it!
