EatWell Camas Board Member Application
Dear Prospective Board Member,

Thank you for your interest in being a board member with EatWell Camas. We are a nonprofit community organization that strives to create equitable opportunities for folks in our community to connect to the land, to grow, learn and thrive. Our actions are rooted in environmental justice, accessibility and stewardship for the land. We invite collaboration, and strive to foster relationships with local schools, businesses, students and our community in order to ensure meaningful engagement with those around us. We believe that education is important and will be working to offer workshops and support to all of our gardeners. We know that learning where the food we eat comes from and how to produce it is amazingly powerful and will be working with local schools to invite students to learn more about gardening.
