The Power To Make A Difference
Women In Local Leadership
WILL was founded by a group of corporate, civic and community leaders who are working together to improve the quality of life for families and children in the Northeast Florida region through leadership, philanthropy and advocacy.
The following WILL volunteer positions are available.
- Born Learning Ambassadors are volunteers who support parents in their critical role as a child's first teacher by providing important information at workplace agency fairs and community forums about what young children need every day to ensure quality learning. Ambassadors promote awareness of the Born Learning Campaign and encourage future participation in upcoming Born Learning workshops.
