In-person June 17 Event for Moms and Babies - Volunteers Needed

Save to Favorites

We are seeking volunteers to help support a family-friendly event for parents who have graduated the Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) program over the past 20 years. Five years ago, NFP created an alumni network called Raising Strong, as an opportunity for parents to stay connected and continue their parenting journey together. For the first-time as an alumni group, we will come together as a collective to celebrate NFP and continue the legacy of raising strong children for a better community.

To make this event run smooth and be successful, we are seeking volunteers who will help with set-up/registration, child care, and event breakdown. If you are interested in volunteering your time for a Saturday, June 17th event, we'll need support with all aspects of program support; we'll have late morning and afternoon shifts based on your availability. As a thank you, volunteers will enjoy lunch on us and a volunteer t-shirt!

Please see detailed information below:

11am - 1pm, Set-Up/ Registration: Set up will begin at 11am which will include decorating the gym, arranging tables and chairs, helping vendors.
