Our Board is Building!
Over the last year, our transitional board of founders of Mercey Springs Foundation and Compassionate Capital Region have been building the infrastructure for the new vision for Chill Sacramento. Now that our structure is in place and our key programs documented or in process, we’ve begun the joyful work of building a board of dedicated community leaders who believe in the organization’s mission: to give individuals and communities the tools and connection to resources they seek for making decisions that serve their individual and collective good — including perspectives and practices for personal wellness and development, cultural understanding and celebration, volunteer resiliency, servant leadership and neighborhood economic activation.
