“We are learners” and “We pursue impact“: These are two of our eight core values that help guide our organization. Our Camp Fire staff embody these values and we have a lot to celebrate when it comes to the caliber of our staff.
To that end, we’re thrilled to share THREE big announcements about some of the incredible things our team is doing!
Nikki Roe Cropp
Director of Program Effectiveness, Camp Fire National Headquarters
We are proud to announce that Nikki Roe Cropp has achieved her Praesidium Guardian certification! Nikki has been with Camp Fire National for almost 5 years but began her career with Camp Fire at a local affiliate—Camp Fire First Texas. Nikki is currently the Director of Program Effectiveness and in her role, Nikki oversees all aspects of program effectiveness – from curricula, to evaluation, to staff development. Nikki stated that “youth protection is fundamental to program effectiveness” and that you cannot “deliver effective programs without a strong abuse prevention framework.”
Since attending Certified Praesidium Guardian, Nikki’s work has revitalized the commitment to child abuse prevention and reminded everyone of their responsibility to protect youth. Thank you for all your hard work and congratulations on becoming a Certified Praesidium Guardian, Nikki!
“Nikki has worked incredibly hard, even outside of the bounds of her Impact Project, to ensure youth are safe. We are incredibly proud of her and look forward to her continued learning and growth! We know she will continue to make a profound impact.” – Praesidium Guardian Coach

Let’s Empower, Advocate, and Do, Inc. (LEAD)’s work focuses on mental health, an issue that has a direct impact on every single person. As you can imagine, mental health is a particularly important topic these days and LEAD’s programming is booming, and the need for it is growing immensely as we approach the winter months.
“LEAD couldn’t be more excited to have your skills, talent, and camp perspectives on our Board as we enter the New Year!”
