Philanthropy Volunteer Committee
Our Philanthropy Volunteer Committee is a small network of volunteers who are committed to the Nurse-Family Partnership and Child First models. They are leaders, experts in their respective fields and loyal supporters who seek to actively strengthen our presence across the nation and help us to develop a strong network of support that will propel this vital work into the future. They serve as outstanding ambassadors setting an example of the philanthropy and leadership that makes the National Service Office for Nurse-Family Partnership and Child First ever better.
We convene committee members for a three-four month commitment to help identify potential new supporters of Nurse-Family Partnership and Child First. During this time, our committee members play a vital role in cultivating a relationship between the National Service Office and prospective supporters with the aim of nurturing a long-term commitment to the organization’s mission and vision of a future where all children are healthy, families thrive, communities prosper and the cycle of poverty is broken.
Our Philanthropy Volunteer Committee is an indispensable resource to the longevity of a shared commitment to positively transform child and family health in this country. We are grateful for their time and commitment!
