Nonprofit Board of Directors Public Relations Executive

Benefits Improving Our Community Be Blessed by Blessing Others Give Back Helping Those in Need Supporting Cancer Families in the Home Flexible schedule This NON-PAID philanthropic board member would be our Public Relations Executive. This position is purely philanthropic and is for an executive who wants to give back and likely has experienced the cancer journey with a friend or loved one. Nonprofit board members give of their time, talent, and treasure. We have a "working board," meaning our board members are involved in our operations, donating an average of 5 hours per week. We do have a donation requirement because our funders (including grant foundations) require that our board be donors to the organization before they will provide grants. We provide coordinated, non-medical support programs and resources for the parent(s) with children battling cancer from the point of diagnosis through treatment. We believe a familys cancer journey is life-altering. For that reason, the care and support of families with children to prevent caregivers from losing their health, home, job and entering into bankruptcy is required. Here to Serve remains the only nonprofit in the U.S. to provide non-medical wraparound services to meet the daily living needs of families with children navigating cancer. 60% of the cancer journey happens in the home without coordinated support, until Here to Serve was launched in 2011. Cancer is a three-legged stool, not two! Research, Treatment, AND Journey! The journey is as profound and consequential as cancer research and hospitals that treat it. Therefore, a family's cancer "journey" requires the same awareness, support, and funding as cancer research and hospitals that treat cancer. Here to Serve seeks a board member who embraces our mission and will be an ambassador for Here to Serve in public, private, and business circles. We want ambassadors who can improve our visibility and, thereby, our funding. The board member will help increase awareness of Here to Serve's wraparound support programs for families with children battling cancer. Our goal is to be recognized as a charity at the same level as other major organizations in this space, providing needed resources and support. About the Organization Here to Serve ( a 501(c)(3) charity, provides coordinated non-medical support programs and resources for the parent(s) with children battling cancer from diagnosis through treatment. 60% of the cancer journey happens in the home without coordinated support. Here to Serve fills this healthcare gap. We provide non-medical wraparound services to meet the daily living needs of families and caregivers navigating their child’s cancer. We believe a child or young parent’s cancer diagnosis is a life-altering journey and seek to support families to prevent caregivers from losing their health, home, and job, and entering into bankruptcy. Flexible work from home options available. #J-18808-Ljbffr
