Board of Directors
Jubilee Home is led by an eight-member Board of Directors which mirrors the diversity of our Durham community. The people making decisions for this organization are people who have been directly impacted by the systems Jubilee Home combats daily. The board also contains three ordained ministers who keep the faith-based heart of Jubilee Home’s work centered on the dignity that is inherent in each child of God.
