Welcome — We’re Glad You’re Here

GrandParents Hands and Children Charity is launching in Ohio, and we’re excited to welcome caring community members into this growing movement. Our vision is to build a calm, faith‑rooted, stigma‑free space where teens can find hope, support, and practical tools for everyday life. 

As we take these next steps, we are forming a small local advisory board to help guide and strengthen this mission. We invite committed community members to join the new Fresh Hope for Teens Advisory Board and help shape a brighter future for young people in Sandusky. 

Who We’re Seeking:  

• Pastors & ministry leaders

• School counselors & teachers

• Parents & caregivers

• Nonprofit & community leaders

• Mental health professionals

• Young adults with lived experience

• Business & civic leaders

You will collaborate with us to: 

• Approve our mission

• Approve our bylaws

• Approve opening the bank account

• Approve our first simple budget

• Meet 3–4 times a year

• Support outreach and partnerships

That’s it.

You’re not building a corporate board — you’re helping us build a community advisory board with legal authority.

Our Foundation Is Ready: 

GrandParents Hands Children Charities already has:
• 501(c)(3) nonprofit status
• A dedicated bookkeeper
• Clear financial oversight and transparency

Your voice matters.
Your experience matters.
And your presence could make a meaningful difference for teens and families in our community.

Thank you for considering joining us in this work of hope and healing.
