Volunteers for the Center for Nursing Advocacy

The Center for Nursing Advocacy is largely run by volunteers. We have more work than we can possibly do, so we urge you to join us and become a volunteer for the Center. You can work from home or at our office. Learn more about our volunteer opportunities.

Representatives

Our representatives circulate news-alerts, rally support for our letter-writing campaigns, are members of the Center and encourage others to join the Center to help build a strong organization. Some representatives take speaking engagements about the Center's work. They represent the Center to the organizations, regions, blogs or listservs listed below. As of 2007, we are transitioning our Representatives program over to building our Chapters. Please click here for more information on building a chapter in your local area.
