Whether you're passionate about local infrastructure, green spaces, community safety, or neighborhood events, there's a place for you to contribute your skills, energy, and vision.

Our projects range from grassroots initiatives like organizing community clean-ups to more complex endeavors that involve collaborating with city officials, engaging local businesses, and influencing area development. We believe that strong communities are built through active participation, and every resident has something valuable to offer. Whether you can commit an hour a month or want to take on a leadership role, we welcome your participation and are committed to helping you make a meaningful impact right where you live.

Board Information

The Board is the volunteer-led Neighborhood Association connection. We are always looking for committed folks to contribute to the community. 


Joining the Board is a great way to make connections, have an impact, and represent the Sullivan's Gulch membership.

You make the difference

Although the Board is responsible for managing the affairs of the Association, many more neighbors contribute in other ways, including volunteering for committees, coordinating events, presenting on community happings, proposing ideas, and more!

Gulch History

Although we are not a definitive guide, we do appreciate sharing the history of our neighborhood and the surrounding area. In Gulch History we share photos, essays, links, and resources by local historians, history buffs, and knowledgeable neighbors.
