Team Supporting JFA Mentors
Our Mentors can't do their work without the support of the staff who work behind the scenes to process donations, manage the office, maintain equipment, pack materials, and help with all of the little details that make our Seat Work and Feet Work events a life-changing experience for our volunteers and the people they touch.
Some of these support staff also work as mentors from time to time, and some also raise financial support. We are so thankful for each of them embodying the principle of Mark 10:45.
