Description
Your Ally Foundation, Inc is a nonprofit recently wrapped up the pre-launch phase and actively embarking on the launch phase. We are looking for volunteers especially an executive director to spearhead this. Ms. Susan Wilkinson the founder of the organization is a psychiatric nurse practitioner by training and her burning desire is to raise awareness and improve access to substance use treatment. Overall, our target population is low and middle-income countries as well as in the African diaspora in the New England area. Currently we are establishing operations in Uganda and Zambia with plans to expand to other low- and middle-income countries on the African Continent. We are yet to fundraise, we are pretty much setting up for partnerships with fundraising, academic partnerships, community partnerships among others.
