In 2020, what was formerly the National Service Office solely for Nurse-Family Partnership united with Child First, a merger empowering two proven models to share complementary expertise, infrastructure and integrated services. The resulting unified entity works to ensure that healthcare, early childhood development, and the mental wellness of the entire family are served in proven ways to achieve long-term positive outcomes.   Our Commitment to You We recognize that inequity stems from policies and practices that cause and justify inequitable distribution of rights, opportunities, and experiences across underserved communities, including various racial, ethnic, gender, religious, and sexual orientation groups.  The NSO is committed to addressing its principles and practices that cause inequality and is committed to promoting anti-racism, anti-oppression, diversity, equity, and inclusion in our research, education, and operations.

Sustain and grow existing public funding for the Nurse-Family Partnership and/or Child First programs across assigned states.  Implement strategies that contribute to the goals of the national public policy priorities, including the alignment of federal priorities to state-level efforts which reinforce key maternal, infant, nurse workforce and mental health policy issues, expand funding availability and seek regulatory changes to improve both models’ efficiencies and effectiveness. Cultivate strong, bipartisan relationships with key stakeholders including elected officials and staff, executive branch and state agency officials, district-level congressional staff, political influencers, community leaders, coalitions and other stakeholder groups.  Identify and analyze key public policy and funding trends impacting states and network partners across assigned portfolio, and provide comprehensive, data-specific reporting and presentations upon request.

Officer, Flood-Prepared Communities (Federal Policy)
Washington D.C., DC, USA
Washington, DC (901 E) The Environmental Portfolio at The Pew Charitable Trusts For more than 25 years, Pew has been a major force in engaging the public and policy makers about the causes, consequences, and solutions to some of the world's most pressing environmental challenges. Our environment work spans all seven continents with more than 250 professionals working at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large natural ecosystems that contain a great part of the world's remaining biodiversity, and the destruction of the marine environment. Pew has worked in the United States and Canada since 1990 to protect vast stretches of wilderness and more recently expanded our land conservation efforts to Australia's Outback and Chilean Patagonia. Safeguarding these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and landscapes for current and future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economics to advocate for practical and durable solutions to the loss of biodiversity. In the sea, reforms to how our oceans are managed are essential to address overfishing, pollution, and loss of habitat. Pew began its oceans program in the United States, focusing on ending overfishing and protecting fragile marine habitat. Starting in 2005, Pew's ocean conservation program expanded around the world and played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas and creating marine reserves around the world. Our work is grounded in the best available science and pursues domestic and international conservation measures that are long-term and provide permanent, durable protections for marine ecosystems.
