Two Explorers Recognized During Florida Volunteer Month

As part of Florida Volunteer Month, celebrated every April, Volunteer Florida has recognized two Explorers in their #VF30in30 initiative - Mr. Steve O'Brien and current student Joseph Pozo.

This agency recognized 30 volunteers total throughout the state and is highlighting one volunteer a day throughout the month of April. 

Volunteer Florida is the lead agency for volunteerism and national service in Florida, administers $31.7 million in federal, state, and local funding for national service and volunteer programs across the state.1

They are guided by a bipartisan board of Commissioners, who are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Florida Senate.

Volunteer Florida administers national service programs like AmeriCorps, which offer Floridians the opportunity to engage in intensive service to their community while increasing capacity for nonprofits and other service organizations. Volunteer Florida’s grantees include schools, educational foundations, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and other community organizations.
