Job Description

• 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 family's 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. Therefore, 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 it.

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. Currently, cancer awareness and support are centered around cancer research and hospitals that treat cancer, not the families who navigate and fund their cancer journey. Yet, the journey for families is just as important and needs the same awareness and funding as research and hospitals treating cancer. If you share this conviction, read on. Consider the impact you can have serving on the board of Here to Serve. Our goal is to take the cancer journey out of obscurity and put it front and center in the light where it belongs to help families that neither asked for nor imagined they would have to take this cancer journey!

This public relations board member will have the tools, experience, and knowledge to reach out to media people who can improve our awareness. They will have access to media databases and relationships with print, TV, Radio, podcasts, and influencers. They will know how to contact people of influence, celebrities, sports, podcasters, and entertainment figures, and those of persuasion to be an influencer with the public. We need ambassadors who can improve our visibility and, thereby, our funding. She/he will be tasked with increasing awareness of Here to Serve's wraparound support programs for families with children battling cancer. Our desire is to become a charity known at the same level as Make a Wish, but in the area of family support throughout the cancer journey, providing the needed resources and support.

About the Company

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 the point of diagnosis throughout treatment. 60% of the cancer journey happens in the home without coordinated support. Here to Serve fills this healthcare gap. 

We believe a child or young parent’s cancer diagnosis is a life-altering “journey.” For that reason, the care and support of families is required to prevent caregivers from losing their health, home, and job, and entering into bankruptcy. Therefore, we provide non-medical wraparound services to meet the daily living needs of families and caregivers navigating their child’s cancer. 

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 cancer. Therefore, a family's cancer "journey" requires the same awareness, support, and funding as cancer research and hospitals that treat cancer. Of the billions of dollars of funding for cancer, only .001% is provided to families with children actually battling cancer!

Flexible work from home options available.
