Friends of Places for People

Who we are...

Friends of Places for People was created to provide young professionals with an outlet to support Places for People.

Why it’s important…

Countless lives are affected by mental illness daily. Friends of Places for People is doing its part to help raise awareness so help is available to those in need.

If we can help educate others about the seriousness regarding mental health care in our community, we can in turn develop support for those who cannot afford treatment or who have no where else to turn.

How we help…

Friends of Places for People assists with marketing, event planning and developing service projects to support the agency. Our major goals for 2011 are to host our first annual signature fundraising event, recruit new members to the cause, and use our creativity to educate others about mental illness.

Why it’s beneficial to belong…

Stewardship. Friends of Places for People members have a drive to grow into community leaders who support and advocate for mental health.

Real Life Experience. We receive practical experience working with committees, board members and volunteering with a nonprofit organization.

Career Enhancement. We build character and “get our hands dirty” by stepping outside our comfort zones and participating in networking events and service projects.

But mostly…we just like to have a good time!
