My Nonprofit Reviews
Steve
Review for Jewish Vocational & Career Counseling Service, San Francsico, CA, USA
I have been a volunteer and board member for JVS for the last 13 years. I endorse everything said by the other reviewers about how effectively JVS meets its critical mission of connecting people with work. Perhaps I have remained involved so long because this agency, under the remarkable stewardship of its Executive Director and other committed professionals, is dynamic and nimble enough to adapt to changing economic conditions - all to the benefit of JVS's thousands of individual clients. More than anything else, helping people achieve their own potential, whether through finding the right job or through skills training, is the measure of JVS's success. I cannot imagine time or other resources better spent than in support of this organization.
