As Orchard continues its journey of growth and expansion of our reach, we’re thrilled to introduce a remarkable addition to our team: Emily Buchanan, our new Program Director!

Emily is not just a dedicated professional; she’s a passionate advocate for non-profits and a true builder of ministries. With an unwavering belief that Atlanta is the best city in the world, she’s spent the last decade helping organizations craft their brand stories and design transformative programs. Her experience even includes working abroad in the non-profit sector, focusing on post-trauma support.

A proud graduate of Georgia State, Emily co-authored notable justice-centered research featured in the APA Handbook of the Psychology of Women in 2017. She firmly believes that everyone has a unique impact to make, no matter where they are in their journey.

Emily will manage all our existing programs and direct new program development. We couldn’t be more excited about the dynamic energy and infectious enthusiasm Emily brings to Orchard! Her positive spirit is sure to inspire us all as we continue to make a difference together!
