The Nursing Office Volunteer Program:   

A Unique Volunteer Program    

The Nursing Office Volunteer Program is a carefully designed strategy for sustainability, using creative human power network and resources as important as monetary resources. It is our very own unique system of fundraising using proven traditional corporate strategies of ways and means for the mission of helping others. Our volunteers include a working board of directors and staff with a mix of skills and talents needed for a full-time line of productions, programs and services. This model is designed both for a balanced income-expense operation which maximizes the full potential of our volunteers and a cost effective usage of funds for services.

 

“Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless, but because they’re priceless.” – Sherry Anderson

 

Coaching & Mentorship 

This is best acknowledged from one of our volunteers:"Thanks to you, my mentors, my standards became higher because of you! "~John Joseph Thater 

 

Vision-Mission: 

The Nursing Office's vision-mission is taking care of nurses and their communities.  We seek to achieve this by opening supportive platforms, providing educational spaces, and creating safe havens for the Arts, Cultural education, Health care, Financial literacy, Language trainings, Advocacy for Seniors and Special Needs persons, and by organizing activities that benefit as many as possible individuals, groups, families, or friends in the broader and wider circles of the nursing community.  The Nursing Office (TNO) offers both challenges and opportunities to Volunteers who desire to grow & gain experience in their chosen fields, while helping to improve the quality of life of underserved immigrant or ethnic communities.

 

The Nursing Office operates solely on volunteer efforts of “The People” who will eventually take ownership of the organization. This model will empower and engage the people to help themselves first and their communities at large.

 

Our Volunteer Program is our biggest and most valuable Fundraising in this very early stage of our non-profit status. It includes all staff, from the Executive Board to the rank-and-file day-to day staff. Our most important goal is sustainability, with the following goals:

 

Creating a Board City-wide which includes the directors of each of the organizations in direct collaboration and partnership with The Nursing Office. 

 

Two Tiers of Board:  

  1. Primary Working Board/ Staff- The Working Board has a hands-on role in the day to day or actual organizational operation and management.
  2. Honorary Board/Consultants  - The External Board is at-large and essentially virtual whose role is on organizational structure, strategic planning and management, promotion of the foundation's mission and vision, network and public relations, sustainability and fundraising.

  1. Believe in The Nursing Office  Vision-Mission;
