JEWISH VOCATIONAL & CAREER COUNSELING SERVICE
Invite reviews
JVS is the most effective non-profit I have ever been associated with. I have served on many boards in both the for profit and non-profit sectors and I find this organization uses its board resources better than any other that I have ever seen. I have used JVS services for my business prior to joining the JVS board and I have recommended JVS to many of my friends who have been looking to find new work or upgrade careers. I have been on the JVS board for more than 10 years and am proud to note that from a user standpoint (both job seekers and businesses looking to find qualified candidates) as well as from a board perspective there is no better workforce development Agency within Northern California.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
my time on the board! This organization remains true to its mission and truly maximizes the board resources through a very collaborative and well organized process.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
very professional! Staff clearly go the extra mile for clients.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
deepen its impact dramatically in the region. Lots of unemployed people are suffering in California--JVS, with an additional 10 million dollars could help retrain and place many more job seekers!

JVS consistently impresses me as one of the most effective, caring and well-run organizations in the local field. I work with a number of nonprofits that engage in job training, so I know that JVS rises above the pack with its range of programs, reach in the community, depth of services, integrity, and incredible attention to tracking and measuring the impact of its work. In the San Francisco Bay Area, it is consistently regarded as one of the top organizations doing this work. The executive director, Abby Snay, has an excellent reputation for compassion and competence - and she deserves it! The more I get to know JVS, the more impressed I am.
