Make a Difference!

Our volunteers represent a wide range of backgrounds and skillsets. They include college students, lawyers, sports trainers, military personnel, teachers, and many other professionals. All share a common goal of enriching childrens’ lives and giving back to their communities. You don’t need to be an athlete to be a JSF volunteer, our programs are designed to help children of all abilities with basic motor skills, not produce star athletes. Our goal is to help children become more well-rounded in body, mind, and spirit and sports is a fun way to bring children closer to that goal. Teaching children valuable life skills is also a major part of our programs, along with academic enrichment topics such as environmental awareness and technology skills. We provide all training and needed equipment, all you need to bring is your enthusiasm and positive attitude!
