Mission Statement
The mission of Friends of New York City Nurse-Family Partnership is to improve the lives of mothers and babies by supporting the New York City Nurse-Family Partnership program (NYC NFP) through financial assistance to enable mothers’ self-sufficiency, increase social and community connections, and provide professional development for nurses. NYC NFP is a program of NYC's Dept. of Health that provides a nurse to eligible mothers to support them to have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Moms must meet income eligibility and be 28 weeks pregnant or less.
About This Cause
Our vision is to level the playing field for NYC children born into poverty by providing mothers with the resources to help their families thrive. The resources include: Support that helps them have a healthy pregnancy and successful delivery Knowledge of child development and positive child-rearing practices The benefit of a supportive social network The finances and tools to find a job/career that allows for true economic self-sufficiency A safety net that buffers adversities that would otherwise create the kind of stress that is detrimental to a child’s potential to succeed New York City Nurse-Family Partnership, a network partner in the nationally acclaimed NFP program, accomplishes many of our shared goals to break the cycle of poverty. We devote our fundraising and programs to enhancing their impact. We do this by strengthening their programs and filling in gaps where they cannot adequately address needs in the following areas. - Financing pursuit of post-secondary education - Providing career development programming and guidance - Offering opportunities to develop community support and reduce isolation - Alleviate nurse burnout help keep nurses motivated and up to date by providing additional training programs At Friends, we believe we can improve the world for mothers and children, helping two generations at a time, because we cannot benefit the children without helping their mothers.
