Community Business Partners
RAPB has partnered with local organizations to support their causes,
and give Realtor® the opportunity to volunteer in the communities where they live and work.
| |

Each year, RAPB donates money and time to the Habitat for
Humanity chapters of Palm Beach County and South Palm Beach County.
In addition to the financial support, RAPB schedules a series of Realtor® Workdays for members to “role up their sleeves” and actually help build houses in our communities (no skills required). It’s a great way to help deserving families, have fun and network with other real estate professionals. We currently have a project under construction in West Palm Beach.
For offices that wish to coordinate group workdays for co-workers, friends and family members, RAPB will provide breakfast, lunch, t-shirts and recognition through the InTouch newsletter for your office! Sign up now! Or visit Habitat for Humanity’s main website to learn more at www.habitat.org.

Junior Achievement's (JA) mission is to educate and inspire young people to value free enterprise, to understand business and economics and to be workforce ready. They currently serve over 39,000 Palm Beach , Martin and Hendry County students in grades K-12. RAPB has partnered with JA to financially support and provide volunteer assistance to their education programs and events.
Junior Achievement's Personal Economics Program trains and places volunteer teachers in 8 th grade classrooms, to educate students about personal finance and the value of home ownership, taught through eight, one-hour modules. Click here if you are interested in teaching.
Exchange City® allows 5 th grade students to participate in a nine week program to learn about the responsibilities of citizenship and basic economic concepts such as workforce readiness, supply and demand, pricing, budgeting, and advertising. After six weeks of preparatory class work, the students, or "citizens" of Exchange City , visit a 7,000 square foot city replica where they operate the City for a day. Students are assigned roles as government officials, business owners, employees, consumers, and producers. After their day in the City, students complete an additional two weeks of classroom study where they discuss the successes and failures of their Exchange City day. Students remember Exchange City as a profound and exciting learning experience long after their visit. Click here if you would like to be part of the next "Realtor® Day at Exchange City ".
