“Without [JVS] I wouldn’t be where I am….I was able to learn at JVS. Having a financial advisor to help me out with every step of the way? Priceless, just priceless. It really helped in my personal life.”

“When my husband and I did our estate planning, it was a priority to provide for our three children. We also wanted to give back, and make sure that we were able to continue our support of JVS. We worked together with our estate planner to put together a legacy gift. Now we know that even after we are no longer involved with JVS, our values will live on.”
Catherine B, Board Member / JVS Donor
Prior to me arriving at JVS, I was homeless. I applied to the carpenters’ union, then I moved over to the painters’ union…I’m the first one in our family to be a tradesman in a union. I’m very proud of that. I have become a legacy for my children.

Agus's Story
“I am from Indonesia. I came to Boston to help my mom when she got sick. Before Boston, I worked in a rice factory, as a driver, and did housekeeping. I couldn’t speak much English, but I signed up for JVS classes. I started in Beginner’s English in July 2023. JVS has helped my English and taught me about hotel work through job training. Now, I’m in Level 2 English, where job club helps me look for jobs and practice interviews.”
