From piano teacher to community lifeline: Meet June’s Positively JAX winner

💙 Meet June's Positively JAX winner: Joel Pace! For 35 years, Joel Pace has taught piano, but his impact extends far beyond music. As the founder of Be the Change Northeast Florida, he's dedicated to helping families, seniors, and people experiencing homelessness throughout our community. From free clothing and hygiene items to food assistance and monthly outreach in downtown Jacksonville, Joel and his volunteers are changing lives one act of kindness at a time. Many of his music students and their families even volunteer alongside him, proving that compassion can inspire the next generation. His philosophy is simple: "You can't change the world, but you can change the world for one person." ❤️ Thank you, Joel, for using your time, talent, and heart to make Northeast Florida a better place. Congratulations on being our June Positively JAX winner! 👏 #PositivelyJAX is brought to you by Closets by Design - Jacksonville
