An Interview With Madeline Kerner, National Director of Outreach and Development, Peer Health Exchange

FS: How would you describe your fundraising philosophy?
MK: We provide an opportunity for people to fund effective, comprehensive health education — for low-income teens not otherwise receiving it — through an exceptionally efficient model. We believe that by communicating effectively about teens' risky behaviors and the resulting harm to their bodies and futures, people become advocates for health education. By coordinating our development work across our national and local offices, by communicating effectively, and by opening our health workshops and work to visitors, we deliver our program and set the stage to achieve our long-term goals.
