Throughout my volunteering for Preschool Advantage, I have truly realized what it means to volunteer. The main reason I like volunteering for this organization is because of what they do for children in my community. I have been able to attend school since I was three and all I want is the same for all children.
U16 AAA Athlete, Rocco Mendoza
Members of the U16 AAA New Jersey Colonial hockey team volunteered their time at an annual fundraiser.
Being able to capture the message and document the accomplishments of Preschool Advantage has been an eye-opening experience for me. Education is crucial, and it can be overlooked when we assume it is guaranteed for all. But this organization has shown the lack of available schooling for young children and presents beneficial solutions.
Morristown High School Senior, Charlotte Ottaiano
Charlotte Ottaiano donated her time and talent documenting events for Preschool Advantage.
