As a network of volunteer designers and builders we aspire to maintain as non-hierarchical an organization as possible. Our volunteers are the most essential components of our organization- each person donates valuable time and skills towards our shared projects and goals. In order to maintain efficiency, we have organized ourselves into a board that oversees our mission, projects, communications and fund-raising. We have also created volunteer-staffed committees and project teams that promote and actuate our projects and activities. Additionally, our partner organizations are a fundamental part of our volunteer network. They provide and help us to maintain connections with the communities we serve.
