Sara Jansen Founder & CEO |

Sara has lived in Flagstaff, AZ since 1978 with a brief gap during the early 1990's when she was active duty in the United States Navy. Upon her return to Flagstaff she started an antique dealer business. Through her love of urban hunting she met several key people who worked for local thrift stores and this, is turn, lead her into the world of non-profits. What started as a once weekly volunteer opportunity quickly shifted into a full time position with St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance. She then took a position with Flagstaff Family Food Center, Food Bank and Kitchen. Between these two non-profits she held the position of Community Outreach and Volunteer Development Manager for many years. During that time she continuously worked with the community to bring people together to support a larger cause. So grew her love of volunteering and giving back to this community.
Volunteer Connex was created in order to fill the demand for an able volunteer-force within the non-profit community. By supporting both sides of the equation, Volunteer Connex is able to relay opportunities to employees through onsite training sessions and acting as a Volunteer Coordinator for said businesses while also aiding local Non-Profits through providing in-house analysis of current volunteer coordination practices. |
