We are deeply proud of our roots as an organization steeped in the Jewish tradition. We continue to provide quality programs to have an impact in the community we’ve been a part of for nearly 100 years. For over 80 years, Jewish Vocational Service’s (JVS) mission and services have been guided by a set of core values of social justice, the dignity of each person, and the value of work, which while universal, are deeply rooted in traditional Jewish teachings. JVS’s Jewish values are important to understand and explain because they are our legacy from the Jewish community, inspiring our outreach and service to people of all backgrounds and identities.

“I learned about JVS while doing a career search. I worked with an incredible career coach at JVS. She helped me piece together my previous experience and the fact that I am a mother of three to come up with a perfect career path. I built confidence and realized my strengths so that I could interview and find a fulfilling career. I am excited about my future career. ”
