🌟 Did you know? Mayo Clinic's research shows that volunteering isn't just good for the community—it's great for your health too! Volunteering provides a sense of purpose, reduces stress, and improves your overall well-being by boosting mental health 🧠 and releasing “happy” endorphins 😊. Ready to make a difference? Join us at Junior Achievement of North Florida and experience the benefits of volunteering firsthand! https://lnkd.in/gBbbVFwZ Learn more about the Mayo Clinic study: https://lnkd.in/gbaW_k52 #Volunteer #JA #Volunteerism #JANorthFlorida #Jacksonville #JacksonvilleFL #JANFL

🌟 Meet Stephanie Saman, MSW, JANFL's Senior Events Manager! 🌟 Originally from New York, Stephanie moved to Jacksonville 24 years ago. She's a proud mom to three kids - Christian, Ava, and Gabe - and loves cooking delicious Italian, Middle Eastern, and Greek-inspired meals for them. Stephanie has been with JANFL for 6 years and finds fulfillment in empowering the next generation. Seeing young people grow, overcome challenges, and realize their potential brings her a deep sense of purpose. Every event she organizes is a step towards a more compassionate and equitable world. She lives by the quote: "To the world, you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." 🌍 In her free time, Stephanie enjoys reading, shopping, exercising, spending time on the boat with her husband Charlie, and exploring new restaurants around Jacksonville. Her current favorite show is House of Dragon. She's also a dedicated volleyball mom, traveling around the country with her daughter Ava for volleyball tournaments. 🏐📚🛍️🚤🍴 Fun fact: Stephanie was the first girl who was on the boys wrestling team in high school! 🤼 #JANFL #Foodie #BoatLife #MeetTheTeam #JuniorAchievement #JANorthFlorida #Jacksonville #JacksonvilleFL #WeAreJA
