Community & Volunteer Services
Volunteer Opportunities
JBCP has a long history of community participation, and offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities. The wonderful thing about volunteering is that it is a two way street - the volunteer provides a service, friendship, skills, and in return gains new knowledge, friends, experience and better connections in the community.
Why not volunteer a few hours a month to serve your community, keep your mind and body active and healthy, meet new people and have fun!
