OUR TEAM
From strangers to friends, to changemakers! At the heart of Free To Be Collective are four women who all met through this very organization looking for the same thing–friends. Wanting to be the change they were all looking for, the team formed, using their collective marketing, creative, financial, and event-planning skills to expand the collective’s reach to people who need it most.
To maximize the impact of our collective, the team consistently tackles every operational function– from financial forecasting and grant writing to social strategy and community management– to bring the best possible experience and resources to Free To Be.
