Why $334,000?

GardHouse seeks to grow its impact by going deeper in Charlotte. Therefore, our goal to raise $334,000 help us in doing the following:

Team Expansion: GardHouse is a small, but mighty, team of two. $135,000 will be allocated to hiring to key staff members that will assist us in reaching our goal of serving 100 students year-over-year.
Associate Director of Partnerships: This role is needed to increase the number of employers interested in working with our students during the fall and spring semesters.
Career Readiness Advisor: This role will absorb some of the duties of the Associate Director of Career Readiness, such as running resume and mock interview sessions, and recruiting new students.
Workforce Development: GardHouse has a growing list of students interested in assisting local nonprofits. Unfortunately, these nonprofits cannot pay the interns a competitive wage. $199,000 will provide 22 interns with an hourly wage of $22 to support 22 local nonprofits.
