"The highest degree of charity is to take hold of persons who have been crushed… to find work for them and thus put them on their feet that they will not be dependent on others."--Moses Maimonides       (1155-1204)             

Who we are…
Jewish Vocational Service (JVS) was established in 1949 to help holocaust survivors and other refugees returning from World War II to build a better life in this country. Since then, JVS has expanded services and offers a variety of programs to meet the needs of persons who face barriers, especially resulting from a physical, mental or developmental disability and refugee- immigration relocation difficulties.

JVS is a private, not-for-profit organization receiving funding from state and federal government agencies, foundations, fees for service and private donations. See a listing of our primary funders of JVS programs.
