BOARD OF AMBASSADORS

The Grace Place Board of Ambassadors is a group of young professionals dedicated to supporting the mission of Grace Place through advocacy, volunteerism, and philanthropy. These individuals contribute their time, talent, and resources to help provide pathways out of poverty through education for children and families.

The Ambassadors also host two annual fundraising events, Beers & Books and Dodge for a Cause, which bring the community together in support of Grace Place.

If you are interested in joining, please contact Colleen Durham at colleen.durham@graceplacenaples.org.
