NAPOCares is an on-going initiative to promote how NAPO members give back to their communities each and every day either professionally or personally by sharing their time, treasures and/or talents with their local community. This includes:
- Promotion on social media of community outreach activities that NAPO members complete
- Annual promotion of GO Month activities each January.
- Annual fundraising for a chosen non-profit

Blog Posting Guidelines and Tips
Prior to submitting a blog, review the full
submission guidelines.
Submit a blog via the NAPO website about your Community Service event for consideration! Blog posts are approximately 500 words and should be more of an overview, not a fully comprehensive "article".
Once a blog is submitted for consideration, it will be reviewed for content. If your submission is chosen for posting, you will be contacted via the email you submitted with your content. At that time you will be able to send your headshot for the byline and an image (or two) that relate to your topic (if one is not provided, a stock image may be used). If you submit a group photo, please identify those pictured.
