FOR THOSE STUDENTS MAKING APPLICATION TO UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES FOR ADMISSION, YOUR RESUME IS GREATLY ENHANCED WITH A NATIONAL COMMUNITY SERVICE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM WITH NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AWARD LEVELS FOR PERFORMANCE.
To enroll all that is needed is for a volunteer to send to elg@jraha the following information and we will initiate the online enrollment and send you a "User ID" and Password to complete the enrollment and for your entries of hours volunteered (including preparation and travel time). We will then work with you on scheduling volunteer hours on approved projects. JrAHA is an official Certifying Organization (CO) and will weekly certify hours volunteered.
Join us in completing
one of the award goals by February 2012 and celebrating it with a special event
to be held annually.
