The Coalition maintains a very small staff.  Much of the most important work of the Coalition is accomplished by volunteers who contribute through work in local, regional, and national settings.

• Board of Directors
• Coalition representatives to UCC settings
• ONA Advisory Committee
• ONA consultants
• Youth and Young Adult Volunteers
• Communications Team
• Project Groups
• Other Leadership
• More opportunities

The Coalition Board of Directors guides the work of The Coalition.  The board is comprised of volunteers from around the United States, together with the executive director.

The ONA Program has trained a number of local folks to serve as ONA resource people in their areas. ONA consultants can help with workshops, seminars and other aspects of the ONA process or for continuing ONA work in your UCC setting. Contact the ONA Program Staff for more information.

The Coalition's Youth and Young Adult program is greatly expanded through the assistance of volunteers who conduct workshops and other programming.
