The people who keep showing up.

Common Ground HB is led by people who know Oak View, love students, and believe steady presence can change a life.

Our team helps create spaces where students are known by name, supported through real relationships, and pointed toward Jesus in everyday life.

VOLUNTEER LEADERS

Common Ground HB also depends on a faithful team of volunteers who serve through programs, meals, mentoring, camps, events, and behind-the-scenes support.

Together, they help keep the door open for students who need a steady place to land.
