New Alternatives for Children (NAC) serves NYC's most vulnerable children - those who have experienced or are at risk of abuse and neglect, live in poverty and have a profound disability or chronic illness. The NAC Junior Board is a leading group of diverse professionals that act as ambassadors of NAC's mission to help our clients build on their strengths, develop resilience, and give the hope for the future.
Members use their personal and professional networks to fundraise, advocate, and volunteer in support of NAC’s vital services. The Junior Board is a fulfilling and fun way to have a direct impact on the lives of NAC kids.
Our role:
* Organize signature fundraising, cultivation, and networking events
* Commit to a give/get individual contribution of $3,000 per year
* Serve as mentors to the Young Professionals Committee
* Participate in NAC Board meetings, co-host events with NAC Board members
* Serve as the next generation of leaders at NAC
We are seeking dedicated members who are committed to supporting NAC's mission and eager to develop leadership skills to advance their careers and become appreciating assets to NAC families. To become a NAC Junior Board member, individuals will complete an application and interview with current board members.

Mission Statement
New Alternatives for Children (NAC) is a unique, award-winning child welfare agency offering strength-based social services, medical and mental healthcare and a wide variety of wrap-around services. We serve families that have at least one child with special needs, often in combination with mental health, behavioral and/or developmental diagnoses as well. NAC’s mission is to achieve safety, permanency and well-being within a family, for children who are at risk of abuse and/or neglect and have special medical and/or mental health needs among other challenges.
Description
The children referred to NAC are medically complex and their birth families have devastating social problems. Their circumstances include poverty, homelessness, domestic violence, substance abuse, immigration and language barriers, parental illness, mental health problems and illiteracy. NAC's children may use wheelchairs or be dependent on medical technology in order to live. They may have HIV/AIDS, cancer, cerebral palsy, respiratory or cardiac problems or spina bifida, among other diagnoses. Growing numbers have asthma, diabetes and diagnoses on the autism spectrum. Some of the children have spent years growing up in the hospital, others have had more surgeries than birthdays, experienced fragmented health services, prolonged hospital visits, and/or medical and educational neglect.
Despite these challenges, NAC has outstanding outcomes and is one of the highest evaluated programs by the Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) among all NYC child welfare agencies (including those serving non-medically fragile children).
