The Growing Hope Family
Residents of Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor, and from across Washtenaw County come together, every day, to do the work that has helped Growing Hope become a nationally recognized contributor to increasing access to fresh, local produce for underserved populations. Through the Americorps*VISTA program, skilled and creative community members dedicate a year of full-time volunteer service — contributing more than 16,000 hours since 2008. Additionally, a talented board of directors, community volunteers, students, and youth interns play strong leadership roles in the organization. A small paid staff lead and manage the daily operations and seasonal interns, volunteers, and VISTA members.
