The National Association of Professional Organizers Launches NAPO® in the Schools

GLENVIEW, IL—The National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO®) launched its NAPO® in the Schools program this fall. This exciting program offers professional organizers a way to connect with their communities and bring increased awareness to the professional organizing industry. As The Organizing Authority®, NAPO® has a responsibility to introduce the importance of organization to students who are at an age when organizing habits are learned and formed. It is vitally important that we teach and instill productive skills and habits in our children from an early age.

NAPO® in the Schools is a community outreach program that brings professional organizers into the schools. In a completely interactive classroom presentation, professional organizers teach students the benefits of being organized and basic organizing principles. The program was developed by a task force of NAPO® members who have a passion for working with and educating students. The program may be offered by a local chapter or by individual NAPO® members who want to volunteer and get involved with their local communities.
