• THE ORGANIZATIONAL AND LEGAL STRUCTURE: We accomplish two goals by maintaining an organizational and legal structure:  We can be consistent and responsible in meeting the needs of our membership while also remaining accountable to our funding authorities. This structure, which is administered by experienced leaders and paid staff, serves to protect the authenticity of the groups, the GROW Program, and the Caring and Sharing Community.

LEADERSHIP:  Leaders foster, protect, and share the Four Essential Features of GROW for one major reason -- because GROW has worked in their own lives. Because it has worked for them, they know it can work for others too.  Future GROW leaders join a group out of personal need but eventually discover that one solution to their own problems lies in helping others. Leaders become companions and friends to those in need and fill many other essential roles – such as that of group “Organizer,” leadership team member, and staff person.
