What we need: Enthusiastic volunteers! The MHJA is 100% volunteer- run. Anyone with an interest in taking an active role and promoting our mission by being involved is welcome to reach out. The MHJA can always use people with all different skill sets including tracking points, communications, updating a website, budget management and finances, and more. 

​The MHJA Board meets once a month for a roughly two hour meeting. Outside of our regularly scheduled board meetings, we meet in committees to further the mission of the board. If you are not a current BOD member, you are still always welcome to reach out to committee chairs to see what additional help is needed.
