There is something familiar about gathering again. On the evening of September 17th, 43 members and friends of our Community of Servant-Leaders filled the Leo Center this fall, sharing a meal, reconnecting with one another, and remembering the work that has brought us together for nearly 30 years.

When life redirected his plans, Rick Griffin discovered that servant-leadership is not about position or title. Through neuroscience and compassion, he now helps others replace judgment with empathy and build the community we were created to pursue.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Centro de Compartimiento (CDC), a Center for Sharing partner serving young women from the remote villages of Oaxaca, Mexico — places where education and life choices are extremely limited.

Broetje Family Trust, an association of three foundations birthed out of a founding vision of Broetje Orchards to “go and bear fruit, fruit that will last” (John 15:16), announces the selection of Omar Escalera as its inaugural Executive Director.  

Broetje Family Trust staff and Tierra Vida community members came together this Easter season to observe the Stations of the Cross, walking through the neighborhood in a spirit of reflection and unity.

The Broetje Family Trust firmly believes in the importance of meaningful work for overall well-being. In response, we initiated an internship program spanning our three focus areas: Servant Leadership, Community Building, and Philanthropy.
