JEWISH VOCATIONAL
SERVICE

hen an immigrant lands his first job
in America...when an adult with
disabilities learns to be self-sufficient...
when a suddenly single parent builds the skills she
needs to return to the workplace...

It's all about dignity.

It's also about Jewish Vocational Service, the Jewish
Federation agency that — with a combination of
counseling, training and support services — helps
people by teaching them to help themselves.

JVS programs are as diverse as the population
seeking help: Adult day care for older adults with
Alzheimer's disease and related dementia disorders.
Resume and job-seeking skills seminars for
unemployed workers. Home health care that
relieves patients and caregivers following illness or
injury. Project Outreach, lessening the isolation of
Jewish older adults with chronic mental illness in
Detroit. Educational counseling, internships and
scholarship guidance for college students.

An integral part of the Jewish community's network
of services, JVS also is sensitive to the wider world
we live in. For example, last year, Detroit's Work
Place, a division of JVS, helped more than 15,000
Detroit job seekers and area employers with job
training and placement services.

As Federation agencies go, the 59-year-old Jewish
Vocational Service isn't that old. But it sure knows a
thing or two about making a living.

And making a life.
