OUR 2025-2026 BRANCH OFFICERS

The South Florida Branch mobilizes youth volunteers to serve and uplift local communities through peer-to-peer tutoring, after-school and summer programs, music performance outreach, and creative service initiatives that bring emotional connection, encouragement, and joy to others. Its mission is to empower young people as both learners and leaders—fostering consistent personal growth, artistic discipline, and compassion while enriching the academic, creative, and emotional lives of children, seniors, and families across South Florida through education, service, and the arts.
