Who we are
The JHGA is an all-volunteer organization managed by a core group of local residents. However, our work would not be possible without the help and support of our neighbors and other community based organizations.
Countless volunteers have given their time and money to sustain our initiatives – from donating sidewalk chalk and other craft materials to the Play Street, to making a pledge for our Grow-A-Park campaign, to offering their time and skills to support public programming efforts, they’ve all played an essential role in keeping the JHGA a truly community-based organization.
