I and am very passionate about building a healthy community and healing our environment. I am also the accountant for an environmental nonprofit located in Kansas City and have made bettering the community and environment a part of my life's work. My favorite thing about Sunrise Project is getting to be a part of a diverse and creative board of directors. Everyone has different strengths and contributes in their own way.

I enjoy serving with a like-minded group of people. I find it enriching to work with younger people outside the silo of my age, gender and ethnicity. My favorite thing about Sunrise Project is the openness and welcoming attitude towards all.

Anna Balmilero
The community that Sunrise Project has brought me has been one so full of joy and one so centered on justice, that to be able to serve on the Sunrise Project board and help support Sunrise Project's work and ensure that our community is being taken care of and thriving has been an experience I am so grateful for. My favorite things about Sunrise Project are meeting new people at Sunrise events and the Community Meals!
