Interest Groups

Grey Street is very proud of our INTEREST GROUP model. Individuals and groups are encouraged to come forward with initiatives and are provided with guidance and support from the Leadership Team. It is easy to do. Contact the Interest Group Coordinator with your idea. The coordinator will answer any questions you may have.
