AMF Mission Statement

The National Students of AMF (Ailing Mothers & Fathers) Support Network is the only nonprofit organization whose mission is to support all college students with an ailing or deceased loved one, empower all college students to fight back against terminal illness, and raise awareness about the needs of grieving college students.

We accomplish our mission by helping students to develop chapters of Students of AMF on college campus nationwide, providing information and support through our website, hosting the annual National Conference on College Student Grief, and holding fundraising events- including the annual Boot Camp 2 Beat Cancer.
