What is the PFF?

Launched in August 2011, PHAME, Families + Friends (the PFF), is PHAME’s  volunteer organization for our students, families and volunteers/friends. Anyone who volunteers for PHAME in any way is a member of the PFF! If you’ve never volunteered for PHAME before, but are interested in learning more, or if you’ve been a loyal volunteer for decades, the invaluable gift of your time is needed and welcome. PHAME simply cannot do it without you!

The PFF was created with the following purpose in mind:

PHAME, Families, and Friends (the PFF) will help further PHAME’s mission by nurturing our current students and stakeholders, magnifying PHAME’s visibility within the community, and expanding PHAME’s network of volunteers to better accommodate our ever-growing student body. The PFF will strive to maintain stability, continuity, inclusiveness, and clear communication while fostering volunteerism, community outreach, and the further development of extracurricular student life activities. The PFF will serve as a support network for the entire PHAME community, not as a policy-making entity.
