When was the last time you volunteered and saved a life?

Well, when you volunteer with NAMI, that’s exactly what you’re doing.

In fact, I’m going to let you in on a little secret...

NAMI is known as the "biggest secret" in the world of mental health.

With more than fifty-thousand supporters nationwide, NAMI isn’t just another nonprofit.

NAMI is a MOVEMENT.

And as our movement grows, we’re on the lookout for passionate individuals who want to join us as we end the stigma of mental illness and save thousands of lives.

Does this sound like you? If so, read on, because we’re looking for an experienced Program Manager to help support our established and successful Spanish Families Program.

About NAMI’s Spanish Families Program

NAMI’s Spanish Families Program is a free, 12-session educational program for Spanish speaking families, significant others and friends of people living with mental illness. It is a designated evidenced-based program. Research shows that the program significantly improves the coping and problem-solving abilities of the people closest to an individual living with a mental health condition.

Bringing this program to life is impossible without the support of our Spanish Families Program Manager.
