The last several years have been particularly challenging for our clients. The local market remains extremely difficult for job seekers. More than 175,000 Bay Area residents are still out of work, and at least 25,000 of them are in San Francisco. Many have been unemployed more than six months - some for over two years.

Yet, with help from people like you, JVS maintains a stellar record of placing highly motivated people in good jobs. Last year alone, some 738 people found jobs through JVS programs, with the average hourly wage of our adult job placements exceeding $16. Many thousands more depended on our employment search resources. JVS serves an incredible range of people, including displaced workers, career professionals, youth with disabilities, synagogue members, newly arrived refugees, and more.

JVS is the right investment because we transform lives and communities through the power of work. This is why we have been passionately committed for many years. Please join us in continuing the JVS tradition of Tikkun Olam - to repair the world - one individual, one triumph, one job at a time.
