Outline of Representative Board Member

CRN is looking to add a few committed, well-connected, board members. CRN is a growing organization, positively affecting the lives of metro Atlanta's homeless, abused, and abandoned children. CRN works with over 2,200 kids at any one time, in 129 shelters and group homes in 19 counties around metro Atlanta. CRN has a board that is down-to-earth, hard-working, serious, and still manages to have fun. If someone is looking to make a difference in the lives of homeless children, think about CRN.
