Rainbow Village Adds Four New Team Members to Support Historic Program Expansion in Georgia

Trending...
DULUTH, Ga. - GeorgiaChron -- As its Building Homes, Building Hope Capital Campaign continues – more than doubling its scope in both transformational programming and transitional housing – Rainbow Village has added four new team members. Ranging from facilities management to community engagement, the newest additions will support the nonprofit's mission of bringing Help, Hope, Housing, and Healing to families experiencing homelessness as it makes the historic leap from 30 to 66 unhoused families. What began as one house in 1991 will soon encompass seven apartment buildings in Metro Atlanta, where families can find a safe haven and a path back to self-sufficiency.

"Through our Building Homes, Building Hope Capital Campaign, we're not just expanding our campus and capacity," said Melanie Conner, CEO of Rainbow Village. "We're also growing our reach, streamlining our processes, and improving our programming. That takes people – dedicated people who bring passion and vision to our organization. As we scale up in virtually every area of our village, we have to be very intentional about each new addition to our team. It's imperative that we keep the 'village' in Rainbow Village. Just last year, Rainbow Village was awarded an Amazing Workplace® Certification. I believe the additions of Justin, Nicoisha, Sasha, and Sergio will enhance our amazing team even further for the benefit of the families we serve."
