Get Involved 

Do you believe that you can make your community a better place? Do you believe that one opportunity can change the life of a child? Do you have extra time? If you answered yes to any of these questions, Princeton Children's Fund is the organization you have been looking for! We have been looking for you too. We are a volunteer-based organization with a shared vision and values: The Princeton Children’s Fund serves to remove the economic obstacles that prevent Princeton Public Schools’ students from reaching their highest potential.  We address each student’s needs and provide equitable access to expanded learning opportunities and enrichment experiences that their families would otherwise be unable to afford. In providing these building-block resources, we strive to close opportunity gaps that disproportionately affect our economically- challenged students.  

Qualifications

Reflecting the strength of our community, the board consists of individuals with varied backgrounds. Everyone willing to roll up their sleeves is welcome! Given the nature of our events and programs, we strongly encourage individuals to apply if they have specific experience in project management, public and media relations, marketing, fundraising, web design, and/or event planning.

Benefits of Board Membership and Volunteering

As you will see, we expect our board to be an active one. Board Members may get opportunities to work closely with school administrators, community organizations, and District personnel. They will also help determine which programs, grants, and initiatives should receive funding. We address each student’s needs and provide equitable access to expanded learning opportunities and enrichment experiences.  The Board of Trustees plays a central role in this important work. Because of your commitment to equity, interest in our mission, and vast experience, you will be an asset to our organization.
