Grow With Us. Lead With Purpose
Every voice on our board shapes the future of urban agriculture and food justice in Bridgeport — from the governance decisions that keep GVI strong to the community relationships that make our work possible.
Become Part of What Grows Here
GVI's Board of Directors is a group of committed individuals who believe that access to fresh, locally grown food is a right, not a privilege. Board members provide mission-based leadership, organizational oversight, and active support for GVI's programs and people — volunteering their time, skills, and networks in service of Bridgeport.
If you are ready to put your skills and passion to work for Bridgeport, we want to hear from you.
