Mano en Mano’s Board of Directors is a group of community members and professionals who are committed to advancing Mano en Mano’s mission. The Board meets bi-monthly on the second Tuesday of every odd month from 5:00-7:00 p.m. We encourage guests to attend meetings to get to know more about Mano en Mano and our programs.
