We Appreciate Our Volunteers!  


Thank you to some of our amazing volunteers who attended our first ever Volunteer Celebration Social! We hope to have many more to show our appreciation and give you the ability to connect with each other and explore new opportunities to get involved with Junior Achievement of South Florida.

"Junior Achievement, more than any other organization I have ever volunteered for, truly makes its volunteers feel appreciated - not just on occasion or at a gathering, but each and every time they work. The sentiment from every staff member, without exception, is sincere and heartfelt." - Jeff Ostrow, JA Volunteer.
 
If you know someone who is looking to give back to the community, share with them how much you love volunteering for JA. Also, have them contact Alexa Diaz or Crissy Torres at (954) 979-7100.
