Student Philanthropy Club
Meeting Dates: Tuesdays as scheduled by the Mission Advancement Office
Time: Lunch/Recess as a "working lunch"
Location: Room 2 in SJAH
Members: 6th and 7th grade students
Purpose:
- The Philanthropy Club will provide leadership in stewardship opportunities for the school through a variety of endeavors.
- Provide an additional opportunity for NFA students to help others and increase their understanding that they can also be philanthropic. (They have time, treasures, and talents to share, give back, and pay forward.)
- Encourage students' understanding that philanthropy is more than just a charitable donation; it is reflecting a profound love of our neighbor, living and working so all may be one, along with many other tenets of the Sisters of Saint Joseph.
- Club members will learn more about the role of the Mission Advancement Office (MAO) in the NFA community and help plan activities that correspond with the MAO and NFA mission.
