This internship consists of many opportunities to meet all kinds of people. From computer science, military, law, medical field, HR, etc.. I have been able to see all the possibilities when choosing a career and how to find well paying jobs. I think this is a great program for high school young adults to see what the work field in America looks like. This program is so supportive in getting fellow students exposure to all kinds of people. 10/10 and would recommend.

The AnnieRuth Foundation is incredible!
Ms. Dee and Ms. Teresa were really supportive throughout the experience. It is very well rounded and cohesive and is well worth your time. You will get to meet experts from every field and receive information and even a paid internship about any department that you may be interested in. If you are a high schooler that is unsure about a field for you, looking to get some experience, or just want to learn more about a field you are interested in before college then this is the place for you! A lot of effort is put into the program and it clearly shows in the participants who receive a life changing experience. Highly recommended!!!

This program was a great learning experience. The chance to get an internship in high school is a blessing in and of itself.
I had a great time! Loving my experience so far. I really love the job I intern at because I am starting to feel like the lady I work with is a mentor to me. She is genuine and has a really great heart. I can’t wait to learn so many things from her. She is Ms Diana owner of LaRosa Realty of Jacksonville.
Honestly, the program as been supportive since the day I got invited to the program. They helped me grow on personal level and work hard on a new level.As I am interning right now at the University of Maryland hospital in downtown due to the connection of the Annieruthfoundaction I know that I will be prepared for my science classes due to this wonderful internship experience.
I am a rising senior and was a part of the 2024 Summer Internship Program. Every month before the start of the program we met to learn invaluable life nuggets to help us succeed in our aspiring careers. Additionally, there were various team bonding experiences that were exhilarating. I would highly recommend the summer internship program as it teaches valuable life lessons and allows individuals to work alongside professionals in their aspiring careers.
Hello Everyone! I would like to say that Annieruth is an outstanding program. I have met many like minded individuals that were prepared and ready to succeed. We received invaluable information about not only our career aspirations but life skills in general. Each month we were able to meet with professionals from varied occupations and learned a-lot about every single one of them. At annieruth they are sowing seeds and strengthening communities and individuals just like me. I recommend the annieruth foundation to anyone seeking to find their path!
My experience with the Annie Ruth Foundation has been great. Over the past year I have had the opportunity to participate in valuable business seminars that have equipped me with a lot of knowledge about the professional world as well as connections with community leaders. I also was able to participate in 6-week internship in my intended career field. I can truly say that the ARF has pushed me to grow as a person and become a better professional in my future career.
My experience with the AnnieRuth Foundation was mostly good. They offer a lot of resources to help students like me be workforce ready. Finalizing everything in regards to the internship experience took a lot of effort to do in my situation, however.
The AnnieRuth Foundation is a non profit dedicated to helping the Jacksonville community achieve its best. For me, they helped me fund my internship so that I didn't have to choose between gaining experience for my career aspiration and a paying job. They also prepared all of their internship applicants with numerous business seminars so they would stand out in the workforce.
On a fun note, they are experienced with ice breakers as I remember those being quite entertaining.
I loved my time with the AnnieRuth Foundation! I got a chance to learn about different life skills and got the opportunity to receive a paid internship through AnnieRuth!
My experience with the annieruth foundation has been wonderful! After I was accepted, I attended monthly online seminars where I learned many life skills and I learned how to be a business professional. After completing the program, I received an internship in a medical facility, which aligns with my career aspiration of being a doctor!
I was in the 2024 program and it helped me get exposed to the jobs that I want to be in, allowing me to see if it's right for me. The seminars helped me get ready for the next steps in academic/buisness career. By going to the seminars my colleagues knew the interworkings of buisness as well. 10/10 experience
The AnnieRuth foundation is a life changing experience that has opened opportunities to myself and many other students my age! This foundation not only taught me valuable life and career lessons but also gave me life long connections!
The internship I experience I have been rewarded through this program will provide me with a surplus of experiences that will stick with me throughout my life.
My aspirations and dreams were always listened to and prioritized. Throughout several activities and business seminars in this year long program, I have furthered my goals in becoming a medical professional and the annieruth foundation was a major part of this. I truly believe this organization to be something valuable and prized in our community.
The AnnieRuth Foundation provides valuable opportunities and experiences for high school students. As an Award Recipient with the foundation, I have experienced first hand working with them. Through the AnnieRuth foundation, I received the life changing opportunity to intern with various medical sites in Jacksonville as well as learn from various mentors during business seminars. I am both grateful and honored to participate in the AnnieRuth foundation’s internship program as well as be an award recipient.
This was a very interesting experience. I have learner many things from the business seminars and have developed skills that I will use for the rest of my life. Amazing experience.
Hi im chrissy, this organization gives students an opportunity to work in their respective fields that they re interested in entering in the future. I have learned a lot from this internship experience so far and am hoping to learn so much more. I am grateful for what this program is offering and hope others will be able to have the same experience.
Had a great time meeting new people and forming bonds, the seminars are pretty cool and informational. Wish everybody could have gotten an opportunity to be in the internship as long as they did everything. Some students did stuff for the entire 2 months and didn’t get to do the experience at the end and still dedicated their time every Saturday and missed by just a couple points and were left with the hope that they got the job but didn’t. I wish there could be a way where others can still get something out of it.
This is a great program that exposes high schoolers to networking with high value business and industry leaders, as well as building important professional skills necessary to climb the corporate ladder. This program also teaches you how to interact in a high value setting, and builds communication skills and networking skills. At the end, you have the chance to participate in a specialized internship in a field of your choice, which is phenomenal.
This program has allowed me to meet community leaders. I have learned how to be professional in a business setting.
I recently completed the Annie Ruth Foundation program. Overall, I really enjoyed the hands-on approach and the instructors were knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The curriculum was comprehensive and covered a wide range of topics relevant to my field.
-Janiyah W
I greatly enjoyed this program! I loved how friendly everyone was and they make sure you are ready for the real world! I highly recommend anyone to take this program and I really love how organized and motivated they are to help you succeed! I greatly appreciate Ms Dee’s hard work and dedication as well as the other staff members that make sure everything is going well. :)
I loved my experience with this foundation! Throughout my journey with AnnieRuth, I learned so many new things, through interviewing techniques, etiquette training, and life nuggets given by many mentors. This foundation has taught me so valuable life lessons and how to succeed in the future. I cannot thank this opportunity enough, as it changed my life.
I had a great experience at AnnieRuth; they went out of their way to support my aspirations, and bring in various resources to help as well.
This is great!!!! It has really helped me decide what I wanted to do as a career path in the future.
I love the AnnieRuth Foundation! The seminars truly taught me valuable skills that are 100% applicable to real life. The seminars not only focused on our careers, but also on how to maximize our own potential. They go above and beyond to make sure that we will not only be able to get a job in the future, but they also make sure that we know how to take care of ourselves. I really enjoyed the session where we talked about mental health and self-care, especially because we got to try out some really nice skincare!
I would say to definitely participate in the summer internship program. The internship and the seminars are both great learning experiences. The program taught me how to respond and behave properly in a business interview, and even gave us opportunities for mock interviews. I actually had to have an interview to be selected for my internship (although I am a summer internship award recipient, my internship is through a different program, not AnnieRuth), and I used the skills that I learned from our business seminars during the interview. The program I applied for is highly competitive, and I credit the AnnieRuth Foundation for part of my success because I don’t think I could’ve made it without their valuable lessons. Although the seminars are over, the knowledge I gained from them will stay with me forever.
I had the pleasure to see and experience my aspirations through this program which was a informative experience from start to finish.we got to learn invaluable information from subject matter experts once a month during the school year then this summer we got to shadow neurologist and surgeons.
I was a summer internship experience award recipient for the 2023 Summer and overall I would highly recommend this non profit and its services to the community. For my story, I had been accepted into the internship and had attended their monthly program seminars and activities to accumulate points to earn a summer internship in my career aspiration field of Medicine.
I will say that the monthly commitment to seminars was a bit tiring as the year went along, and the program itself is intense in what it asks of the student participants (ie: attending multiple calls throughout the months for many hours at a time), but the overall process is good hearted. The staff and directors only wish to see the students succeed and grow into bigger shells by being professionally developed and trained, but at times it does seem a bit forced or awkward for the student to have to conform and adapt. Being mostly an online environment, the overall efficacy is a bit limited by the lack of in person interaction or relationship building with the peers of the program. However, the nuance to all this is the size and breadth of the program participants and where they hail from (and of course travel restrictions) so I cannot be too critical of the online environment’s mediocrity.
To summarize, I think for the internship and what I obtained from the experience, it has helped and been resourceful. But it wasn’t enjoyable 100% of the time, and that had to do with the combination of factors that made the program more time consuming.
With the AnnieRuth Foundation over the span of a year I got to work an internship with a business that coordinated with my career interest. Before this I went to monthly Saturday Teams meeting to meet business professionals who shared tips and stories about their experiences with us!
My experience in this organization allowed me to grasp the concepts of my career field on a professional level. It provided a year of useful knowledge in its monthly meetings and also internship experience over the summer.
This is a great organization to be involved in. The things I have learned through AnnieRuth were amazing. They don’t only show you an internship, but also how to act, speak, and look when going to any business place. This has helped me understand more about what Fed I want to go into and what to could I be representing myself as when i go to work places.
During the end of my high school experience I was looking for ways to expose myself to an environment that aligns with my career aspiration to see if that was a profession that I truly wanted to pursue, and the Annieruth foundation made this possible and prepared me for any job related scenarios i might come across in the workforce.
I had a really good experience with this organization as they provided the students with many opportunities to gain new skill sets through business seminars and the chance to explore possible career aspirations.
AnnieRuth has opened me up to great experiences and people that will help to enhance my future. It has been very educational and enjoyable to say the least.
This program has helped me to find an internship experience that is tailored to my aspiring job field. While completing this program in a clinic, I have been able to do research that will better help the local community.
The AnnieRuth Foundation has a great impact on the community by providing high school students, such as myself, with the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the career setting through their internship program, which spans the school year, as well as by giving us the opportunity to intern under professionals related to our career aspiration. The AnnieRuth contributes to the community in many other ways as well, such as by participating in food drive and giveaway events.
I participated in the Annieruth foundation during my junior year of high school. I received invaluable information about the workplace and was paired with a professional aligning to my career aspiration. This program has benefited me in so many ways.
As an aspiring pediatrician and current member of the AnnieRuth Program, I have found this experience to be extremely valuable. I’ve learned so much both in the business seminars and in the internship experience.
AnnieRuth has been an integral part of my journal towards the medical field. With the partnership of physicians around Jacksonville, I have been exposed to the impact of Jacksonville healthcare providers around my community. This foundation has taught me invaluable skills and lessons that I will use to build my professional career. Without this internship, I wouldn’t have been exposed to medicine as much as I have been with this program.
Helped me learn essential professional skills and led me to another internship! Thank you to Mrs. Dee and her associates.
I enjoy the exposure that AnnieRuth has given to me, being able to experience the medical field in an office that deals with pediatrics is so rewarding and fun.
This is an excellent nonprofit that greatly helps down the line! They are extremely charitable with their time and opportunities (such as internships).
Annie Ruth has been a wonderful and insightful stepping stone to helping teens and young adults like myself to gain experience in the fields of the career we aspire to take on. Not only gaining hands on experience with our specific career aspiration but equipping us with knowledge on how to be a great leader, take pride in ourselves, communicate better, listen to our bodies and overall be a more multi faceted and success driven individual. My time with the Annie Ruth foundation has allowed me to be more open minded with my decisions and not be afraid to take on challenges.
The Annieruth Foundation gives invaluable life lessons to students earlier on in life so that they can make smarter decisions in life. This program sets me apart from all of my classmates because the knowledge, skills and experience that I have gained through the internship and the 30 hours of instructor-led training focused on personal, academic, and workforce development has given me opportunities that many others can't receive unless they have also went through the program. Although the program may be a bit time consuming and very demanding at times, all the things that students go through in the program make them much better employees and students. This program fosters young minds and shows them how to be great leaders for years to come. The relationships that I have built and the lessons that I have learned will stay with me for years. I am very greatfull that my dad introduced me to the program and if I could do it again I 100% would!
As a result of being selected as a 2022 Award Recipient, I was placed at Jacob’s Engineering. During my time there, I learned what it truly takes to be an engineer of any kind and how important some things are. I learned that it is necessary to be ready at all times for anything and be eager to learn. My first week there, I learned computer dismantling! I really enjoyed my 6 week internship and am indebted to the AnnieRuth Foundation for giving me the tools I needed to be the leader I am today. I am truly grateful.
I was a participant in AnnieRuth Foundation's High School Summer Internship Program. I gained knowledge which cannot be taught in high school. During my internship experience at Haskell, I had the opportunity to explore my potential career. Ms. Dee, the head of the Foundation, has helped me in my college and career journey.
The Annieruth Foundation has truly blessed me. I participated in a year of instructor-led training, and then I worked at a six-week internship. I truly enjoyed my experience as I got to further increase my love for medicine. I am so glad that I got the opportunity to work with individuals in my future career field. I now feel more prepared for the future, and I am so grateful!
My six week experience was amazing. Since I aspire to be a medical professional, I was doing a rotation with three different medical professionals. Gaining this experience truly strengthens my desire to learn and practice medicine!
The Annie Ruth Foundation Summer Internship Program was an incredible experience that has helped prepare me for my future career aspirations. They shared valuable tips with me regarding different aspects of job preparation such as resume building and interviewing. This program, which aligns youth with professionals in the field they want to be in, provided me with the opportunity to actually work in the profession I plan to pursue. I’m very thankful to have been given the opportunity to be a part of such an impactful internship program.
As a participant of the AnnieRuth Foundation, I found that it was a wonderful experience where I learned a lot from people I would not have normally met in my everyday life. I will continue to express how much this program has helped me with my future.
As a 2021 Award Recipient of the Annie Ruth Summer Internship, I can truly say that this program does prepare you for the world of buisness and professionalism. Even though the meetings we had were a little long, all of the speakers offered valuable information that I will take with me in my life's journey.
The Annie Ruth Summer Internship Program has helped me to feel more prepared for when I enter the workforce. I am so grateful for this opportunity.
Great opportunities to learn business… and how to better yourself… in life! Loved this program requires work… from both parties for it to work… you must apply yourself. But overall… The outcome is worth it!
The AnnieRuth Foundation has been a truly amazing experience! I gained life nuggets that will continue to guide my decisions throughout my life. Overall, meeting driven young people and participating in volunteer opportunities opened my eyes to the many ways we can make a difference in the world.
Having the opportunity to participant in the summer internship program with the AnnieRuth Foundation was an amazing experience. I got the chance to get advice from different community leaders on being apart of a work force and have been selected to become apart of their internship program. Many great things are to come from this organization!
The experience and benefits the Annie Ruth Foundation provide are truly life changing. They help you make significant steps towards your future which is an opportunity I highly encourage others to try.
I got the opportunity to intern under MJP Financial through the AnnieRuth Foundation in which I learned a ton about building/managing client portfolios and the stock market. As a Business major in college , the information I have learned from the experience not only translated to the classroom , but in my personal life and finances as well.
Previous Stories
As as participant in the AnnieRuth program I learned valuable life lessons and skills that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Throughout the program there are business seminars and workshops catered to the development of the participant in which community leaders come in and provide life nuggets along with beneficial projects such as creating LinkedIn profiles. Not only does the AnnieRuth Foundation provide for the participants (at no cost) , they also give back to the community through volunteer work. Attending the volunteer opportunities allowed me to build closer relationships with other participants and my community , which is always a positive thing. At the end of the program I was selected as an award recipient and now I have the opportunity to shadow a professional in my desired career-field for my summer internship. I would highly recommend this program to others looking for experience in their desired career-field and to be a step ahead of your peers by taking the initiative to follow through with the program. I personally learned essential knowledge and skills such as how to dress appropriately in the workplace, the importance of showing up on time, and how to effectively communicate with others. Again I would highly recommend this program because if you stick with it I guarantee you will come out of it as a better person and one stop closer to your future.

The AnnieRuth Foundation has given me new skills and connections that I can use in the workplace for the future. It has also encouraged me to be more of a leader than I already am. The summer internship was amazing considering what going on this year. I’m excited to use these skills and to meet many more people.
I truly loved my experience with the AnnieRuth Foundation. As a participant in their summer internship program, the AnnieRuth Foundation was able to bring so many community leaders out to teach us their wisdom and give valuable professional skills and life skills. We were also able to participate in very fun experiences such as their annual fashion show and the MLK parade. Throughout this experience I have grown more confidence within myself and am now more prepared to go into the professional world. Thank you Ms. Dee for the wonderful experience you gave me and the other participants! I hope I can repay you and your foundation for this treasured experience in the future.
This is such great organization, for over the course of 10 months there are people from all across Jacksonville that willingly comes in and share their knowledge with kids who yearns to acquire more knowledge. During my time their I have learned so much and was privileged enough to be under the care of the great staff of the Annie Ruth Foundation. With the help of the Annie Ruth Foundation I have been allowed to work with many different nurses that will help me in making my future career choice. The Annie Ruth Foundation is not only concerned with your ability to have the work experience but cares deeply about your personal life as well and will help when possible. I thank everyone and especially Ms. Dee Wilcox for allowing me to be apart of this great foundation!
I am so thankful for the beautiful life experience I have gained through the AnnieRuth Foundation as a participant. I have gleaned so much knowledge about the career field I aspire to work in, but more importantly, I have been given wisdom that goes beyond careers and resumes. I treasure the “life nuggets” and friendships I have acquired through this foundation that will truly last a lifetime.
My experience with the AnnieRuth Foundation, its leadership, and its community of program participants and volunteers has been nothing but positive. The AnnieRuth Foundation’s Summer Internship Program (SIP) is a wonderful opportunity for high school juniors and seniors to receive personal and professional advice from community leaders (medical professionals, businessmen and women, entrepreneurs, legislators, etc.). The program’s environment fosters a sense of professionalism and comradery, which adds to the experience of participants. Personally, I have received valuable advice, encouragement, and connections from this program, and I have become more confident and better-equipped for job interviews and the workforce. The founder of the AnnieRuth Foundation is is an incredibly gracious peson with a strong sense of integrity, and this foundation helps students find opportunities to succeed in their futures.

The Annie Ruth Foundation has helped foster my child’s development by providing insight on real life skills that can be applied for her benefit. From being confident to managing finances, we’ve learned so much and we are so happy with our experience!
The Annieruth foundation I feel has provided me with the advice and guidance to succeed in the professional world that not many highschool students get to have. By being in the Annieruth Foundation I feel I am now steps ahead of my peers. This is an opportunity to learn from and network with people from all different kinds of professions in Jacksonville. Everyone apart of this foundation is so kind and truly wants the best for the next generation.
The AnnieRuth Foundation allows youth to learn job and life skills, from resume building to staying morally ground to being confident during an interview. It's a great program for high schoolers, and will teach them the backbone of being a leader. Starting with time management as the meetings take place once a month saturday mornings
This program is the best learning opportunity I’ve had as a high school student! You get to listen to community leaders and people who tap your career aspiration. And personally for me the fashion show was really fun it definitely brought me out of my comfort zone which made it that much more enjoyable. But over all I like how they would bring in leaders in the city or of a business and talk about what they do and how you can get there! This all prepares you for your summer internship at the end of the program if you are eligible. So they pretty much get you prepared for life! It’s a great learning experience
My experience with the AnnieRuth Foundation went well, I learned how to make a LinkedIn profile, how to dress professionally for a job interview, and etiquette at the dinner table. The business seminars were interesting; my favorite experience was learning yoga. In general I feel like a lot of discussions during the seminars were common sense (for me, maybe not for a lot of others), but nonetheless it was still good information, it motivated us, and served as a great reminder. I will definitely be using my life nuggets as much as possible. I had a lot of fun, met great people, and have made some good memories. I am grateful for the experience and the privilege to complete the program.
My name is Korey and it would like to tell about my experience with Annieruth. To start off I believe that it a program that would help teach those who are in it lesson about how to prepare for the business world by having those in different career fields tell you about their experience and as they give pointers it helps you learn new things so it can help you and other when the time comes for them to find jobs. While your in the program it gave the opportunity to gave bac to those in need by having event. Taking a example for my experience in the program it rember having the Christmas party and giving gifts to the less unfortunate and seeing the kids enjoy was actually fun and is something that will stick with me for a long time.Also if those who work hard in the program it be worth it because it also gave you the chance to become a intern for the job you aim to be in the you aim for so this program is something it would consider putting the effort in
My experience with Annie Ruth was great. The program was very beneficial and you learn many things along the way that help you grow. I recommend this to any student looking to gain experience and life skills!
This experience has taught me how to operate in a business environment. The information provided by the monthly speakers, was extremely helpful and has prepared me for my current internship.
It is a great experience, especially for preparing for the workforce and a young adults professional life. Everyone on the team was extremely nice and welcoming and offered their help in anyway possible. Once you get used to the routine of the seminars, you would feel as if a mini community is formed between all of the new participants.
Great experience and we’ll recommended to aspiring teens that wish to learn about the business and experiences in the world. Really opened my eyes to new experiences and helped me to gain more wisdom and knowledge then I could’ve ever hoped for. Very fun and met new friends along the way. Helped me to bring out my strengths and work on weaknesses .
With the Annie Ruth Foundation I was able to truly get a look into my career and what I want to be. If I had any doubts before they are now gone due to me working alongside a veterinarian for 6 weeks and being exposed to vet tech work as well. I have also learned some life nuggets and general information that will help me be successful in life.
I had an AMAZING experience as an Intern and participant of this program and foundation. I would definitely recommend this to high school students and local businesses to get involved with the summer internship program. It was definitely worth the work. I gained lots of knowledge. Very great staff, networking opportunities, and life-long relationships. COMMENDABLE!
My experience with the Annie Ruth Foundation was incredible! I had an amazing time at all of the business seminars and withe the mentors.

I have always wanted to be a veterinarian but after this internship, my desire to be at veterinarian has grown even more. So join the AnnieRuth Foundation to pursue your dreams and they pay.
I had the honor of participating in the AnnieRuth Summer Internship Program. I was given so much valuable information like interview techniques and budgeting that I wouldn’t have been able to get anywhere else. The AnnieRuth Foundation helps ensure success and professionalism amongst the youth of the Jacksonville community.
I was given the privillige of being awarded a spot at the Annie Ruth foundation after typing a essay, I was so excited. When I first got there I was treated with so much respect and motivation to do better in life. Even if you do not get the job ,( which is only the cherry on top), you are rewarded with so much in the long term including a chance to meet so many community leaders. They play a role in shaping you up for the long term and also teach you skills many adults don’t know . Once you are rewarded you are placed in a professional PAID environment and able to work for a respected role model .Out of all Annie Ruth has really taught me a lot and been a great experience.
If possible I would give it 10 stars. The program was amazing and was filled with hard working, sincere people that truly cared about us. I got a job that aligns with my career goal thanks to them. Highly recommend this!
I was apart of the 2018 finalists and was able to do something meaningful and beneficial for my future. I was able to shadow three very influential doctors in the city of Jacksonville. I was also able to take in loads of information that I would need to get a good job. I learned about resumes, interviews, managing money, and so much more. Not only that but I also got paid during this internship which many intorns don’t get paid.
Hello I had the great opportunity to be one of the finalists for the Annie Ruth Internship this summer. I was placed with three different doctors and each of them taught me how to become a more caring person and even a more outgoing person. This internship has truly changed the way I see the medical field and made me more enthusiastic for the next years to come! Thank you!
I am a 2018 finalist and this has been one of the most rewarding, productive summers that I have ever experienced. None of this would have been possible without the AnnieRuth Foundation. I would like to thank Ms. Dee Wilcox and the AnnieRuth Foundation for helping to make my dream of one day becoming a neurosurgeon come true.
I was a 2018 finalist who had the privilege of interning with several doctors. This program has helped me to focus on my goals later in life and gas even taught me valuable business skills. The entire Annieruth foundation has helped so many young adults in various communities. They are a great organization that will truly change many lives.
I was one of the semi finalist for 2018 and I've enjoyed my time during this process. Everyone on the board is encouraging and wants to see better in the community. My experience was amazing with the program and my job. I would recommend this to every student. -S. Wright
I am one of the semi finalists who had the blessing of becoming a physician intern through this organization and I LOVED IT !! I have gained so much information about carrying myself in a professional manner and and also information about being a doctor . I also got to do hands on actions in the medical offices such as help set up small medical procedures and giving shots. If I had chance, I would do it again !
This Foundation provides a great opportunity for teens. They have a chance to look into their future career and see if it's what they want to do or not. I was fortunate enough to be part of something so great.
The Annie Ruth foundation provided me with a wonderful experience that I am sure will help me as I continue my journey into the medical field. I definitely recommend this to all students who wish to experience what it's like to be in their aspiring field of study.
The AnnieRuth Foundation really made a change in my life and help me want to be an elementary teacher more than ever thank you so so so so much for giving me that opportunity .
Everything about the AnnieRuth Foundation is absolutely amazing and well organized. Words simply cannot describe the beauty of the great minds who run this foundation.
The Annie Ruth program gave me an insight on how organizations are ran, and how they can impact others. This program allows students to work in the field of their dreams, to see if thats want they aspire to become.
The AnnieRuth Foundation's 2017 Summer Internship program gave me the experience worth a lifetime. I learned so much about my career and myself that I've never knew before. 10/10 would do again!
When the Annieruth Foundation was first brought to my attention and I got to know Ms. Dee, I immediately extended my hand to help in any way I possibly could. I was drawn in by her vision and compassion to help children, families, organizations and businesses with making healthier, positive choices improving their life as an extension to the community. It's great to know and to have been apart of an organization that engulfs so much positivity that's empowering and strengthening our community at the same time.
I have known Ms. Wilcox, Executive Director, of the Annie Ruth Foundation for many years as a 2nd mother, mentor, a special person who I admire and love dearly. I am blessed to be a part of this organization with many individuals who take the time to spend helping others in need. It just warms my heart to see smiles and gratitude of children, parents, and elderly that we serve in local communities with gifts or resources to help them survive or function on a daily basis. For two years now, I have recieved the Volunteer of the Year Award with this great organization, which I was speechless. The best inspiration I can say is when seeing a child smile when they recieve toys during Christmas parties , a mother wanting to give up on parenting but just need that push and resource to help them along the way. Futhermore, first day of school and don't have funds to get supplies or a backpack, interacting with kids during parenting classes, and many more.
These are the reasons why I love being a part of this organization.
I am so pleased and honored to have Annie Ruth Foundation involved in our community. Keep up the great work because Jacksonville needs more foundations such as yours.
I had the honor of volunteering with this great organization recently and the experience was so very humbling. The care that this organization takes with empowering healthy life styles for our families and bringing awareness to our children is invaluable. I love the work this organization is doing in our community and I look forward to volunteering with them in the future.
The AnnieRuth Foundation does a lot of good work in the community. Their programs are of the highest quality and are always delivered in a very professional manner. The AnnieRuth Foundation is a valuable asset to Jacksonville communities!
The Annie Ruth Foundation is a passionate organization, catering to addressing and helping to resolve the issues surrounding youth, young adults, seniors, academics, poverty, and the social climate within the community. I have had the pleasure of working with its Founder, Ms. Dee Wilcox. Her commitment and dedication is contagious! She has just the right combination of humility, compassion, and spunk to lead this organization to the next level. I'm truly a fan and supporter of The Annie Ruth Foundation.
