Helping People Help Themselves. JVS repairs the world, one person at a time.
About us
Using the slogan “Helping People Help Themselves,” JVS repairs the world, one person at a time; allowing our program participants to achieve the highest degree of independence and dignity. Our staff of more than 50 skilled professionals work with a diverse range of individuals in need of employment, education, corporate training, rehabilitation and other specialized services—from the unskilled single mother receiving public assistance to the entry, mid and executive level job seekers; from the sixteen-year-old high school dropout in trouble with the law to the recent college graduate; from the non-English speaking refugee to American-born adults seeking to earn their GED; from the high school freshman with autism to the corporations that are seeking training for their employees. JVS fulfills its mission each and every day by living our adopted credo: “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 so they will not be dependent upon others.” (Moses Maimonides, 1135-1204)

Every year on October 28, National Immigrants' Day provides an opportunity to reflect on America as a country of immigrants. While we celebrate this national day, JVS works throughout the year to support refugees and immigrants. Much like our ancestors, these individuals often arrive in America unfamiliar with the language and the intricacies of navigating a new system. JVS provides comprehensive support through the following services: • Referrals for refugee cash assistance, food stamps, and Medicaid • Referrals to free or low-cost immigration legal services • English as a Second Language (ESL) classes • Citizenship Exam preparation classes • Job search assistance If you would like to support our ongoing work with immigrants and refugees, please visit our website: https://lnkd.in/ecSqK8j7 Thank you! #JVSofMetroWest #WorkforceDevelopment #EnglishasaSecondLanguage #CitizenshipClasses #RefugeeServices
