VOLUNTEER
Serve on a Local HIPPY Advisory Council
HIPPY Texas, and local HIPPY programs, have a group of stakeholders and supporters that serve as a HIPPY Advisory Council. The members of the HIPPY Advisory Council support, inform and promote HIPPY in the local community and at the state level. We are seeking advisors from a variety of backgrounds (education, social services, community based, churches, corporate / business, government) to serve on our statewide HIPPY Texas Advisory Council and on each of our local HIPPY Advisory Councils (see list of communities and expansion sites).
The responsibilities of the HIPPY Advisory council are to:
• Support and advise the HIPPY coordinator/state director
• Advocate for HIPPY with local, state and national decision-makers including legislators, funders and stakeholders
• Further the program’s public image through public relations, marketing, media and other efforts
• Assess the program’s performance and provide input for improvement
• Look for possible volunteers and donations that can benefit the program
Meetings are held approximately 4 times per year, and last 2 hours, in a public meeting space in the local community.
If you are interested in supporting the statewide Texas HIPPY Advisory Council or a local HIPPY program in an advisory capacity, please contact us!
Other volunteer opportunities include:
- Hosting an event to support HIPPY in your community
- Present at a parent meeting or training for home visitors
- Contacting your local decision-makers about the benefits of school readiness
