Leadership & Operations

Sara’s Circle operates with a lean, mission-driven structure designed to prioritize care, clarity, and long-term sustainability. During this early growth phase, day-to-day work is guided by clear systems, ethical decision-making, and intentional scaling — supported by advisory leadership, volunteers, contractors, and mission-aligned partners.

Our approach balances responsibility with flexibility, allowing the organization to grow thoughtfully while staying rooted in its values.
