No organization can do it all alone, but together, we create a stronger, healthier, and more vibrant Fort Smith. I am incredibly grateful for the relationships, support, and shared mission that makes the RVNP a driving force for positive change in our community.”

Joining this group was the boost I needed to form my new nonprofit! I continue to build connections and learn in every single meeting. ”
