TFF Regional Engagement Teams

Our Regional Engagement Teams are essential to ensure that we have the organization we need to keep the pressure on legislators to protect the issues that matter most.

Last year we introduced our TFF Regional Engagement Teams! Covering all the major regions of Virginia, these teams are made up of awesome volunteers who will lead in defending and preserving life, marriage, parental authority, religious liberty and constitutional government. They will work directly with The Family Foundation’s grassroots and policy departments to help us carry out that mission even further. We will provide the training, support, and materials needed for the Engagement Teams to build a successful chapter in your area. 

The Engagement Teams are divided into the following 8 strategic regions of Virginia: Southwest, The Valley, Northern VA, Central VA, Southside VA, Capital Region, Chesapeake Bay Region and the Tidewater Region. We will need to fill each of the positions below in each region! 

The time is NOW and we need YOU!
