Volunteer

One Hour Can Change a Life

It’s true. Volunteering as little as one hour a month – or more if you are able – can help strengthen our community and make a difference in someone’s life in ways you can’t imagine. Our strength lies in our collective action.

Goodman JFS volunteers help those in our community facing hunger, poverty, loneliness and isolation. We welcome all volunteers regardless of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, background and skills. All that is required is a desire to make a difference in our community. We’ll work with you to match your interests, skills and availability with one of our clients or programs. Won’t you please join us by becoming a volunteer today? Contact Michelle Pines, email: mpines@jfsbroward.org or call 954-530-7555, option 4.

Court-ordered volunteering is NOT accepted at this time.
