South Florida Welcomes New Board Member: Jean Marie Middleton


Why did you become involved with Boys Town South Florida?

  • I became involved because of my commitment to ensuring that the youth of Palm Beach County are supported and provided with the opportunity to be the best version of themselves so they can become productive citizens in our society.

What do you wish other people knew about Boys Town?

  • I wish other people knew that Boys Town provides services that support the whole family and not just the youth.

What is your favorite program/service that Boys Town South Florida provides? Why?

  • Care Coordination is my favorite program/service that Boys Town South Florida provides because it focuses on the entire child and supports all areas of their life.

What will others be surprised to know about you?

  • Others may be surprised to know that I have earned a red belt in Tae Kwon Do and I was a roller derby skater.

Favorite Quote:

  • My favorite quote is:

“This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”   - Winston Churchill
