Our Committees
Community Engagement Advisory Committee
The Community Engagement Advisory Committee supports R.I.S.E. Northwest’s mission by creating community awareness, fundraising and developing capital investment in the organization. The committee champions the long-term viability and stability of our nonprofit by reaching out to donors, communicating needs, and, ultimately, facilitating the flow of funds from the community to its bereaved children.
Simultaneously, it monitors fundraising efforts to ensure ethical practices are in place.
Volunteer & Program Committee
The Volunteer & Program Committee is responsible for our services and the volunteers who facilitate them. It oversees the selection, planning, and execution of all R.I.S.E. Northwest programs, Camp Cope and Team RISE. In addition, the Committee recruits, vets and onboards our volunteers and coordinates them to ensure the highest standards of care for our children.
Finally, it collects and analyzes feedback from the volunteers, children, and families to continuously improve and enhance our services.
