Today is National DAF Day, when people across the country put their donor-advised funds to work. Some of the smartest gifts don't come from a checkbook.
Here's what smart giving sets in motion at Junior Achievement of South Florida: → A 5th grader takes the CEO's chair in JA BizTown and earns their first paycheck → An 8th grader explores 18+ industries in a single day at JA Career Discovery Park → A young adult earns an HVAC or plumbing credential through the JA Pre-Apprenticeship Program → 300+ teens were paid more than $750,000 in wages through summer jobs last year
Every year, 40,000+ students across Broward and South Palm Beach build skills in work readiness, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship. More than half attend Title I schools from economically disadvantaged communities.
