The 2025-2026 Volunteer Board Team is composed of parents who are offering their time for the good of the group. The goal of the board is to have an organized learning year that meets the mission and goals and remains consistent with the group’s statement of faith.

Board positions are year-long terms to provide a variety of voices, energy, and opinions as the group continues year by year.   After the first year, open board positions will be filled by the selection and vote of the board members.

An important piece of the leadership board team is the creation of bylaws to ensure that any decision made is transparent and fair. No board member’s voice is more important than another’s, and any disagreements will be resolved amicably through a vote of the board.
