Thank you Jonathan Sorsabal, for being a phenomenal volunteer and for introducing First Financial Credit Union to JA of New Mexico!

From this presentation, 5 new volunteers were engaged and worked with classrooms this semester. Additionally, Jonathan continues to work with several classrooms across Central New Mexico and is consistently acting as a JA Champion.
Jonathan, thank you so much for passionately spreading the JA word! Because of your advocacy, recruitment efforts, and willingness to go above and beyond for these classrooms, you have helped bring our programs to over 150 students.
