About JVS
JVS Toronto is a non-profit organization that partners with both the government and business sectors to help people succeed.
Our organization helps people from all backgrounds with diverse needs to identify their strengths and goals, develop skills, and achieve success in school, work and life. Our service is predicated on the principles of collaboration to create a strong and responsive community.
We currently offer an expansive range of over 40 employment-related support programs and services throughout the Greater Toronto Area to thousands of unemployed and underemployed individuals. These include youth, persons with disabilities, women, children, and newcomers. Since its inception, JVS Toronto has helped over 500,000 people fulfill their potential. In the past year alone, JVS Toronto served over 23,000 people through a variety of counselling and support programs modeled on best practice approaches.
Originally founded by the Jewish community at the end of the Second World War, we have evolved into a broad-based community organization whose name is synonymous with helping people of diverse backgrounds to meet their educational and employment goals. We have grown from a staff of three to approximately 200 talented and committed professionals, and are still growing to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.
Through our responsive career, employment, training and psychological services, we assist more than 23,000 people annually - newcomers, youth, women, people with disabilities, mature workers, the unemployed and the underemployed. JVS Toronto proudly continues the tradition of bringing services to people in their own communities, and now operates out of 12 locations in the GTA. Our clients and our staff are the true mosaic of the changing face of Toronto.
Every year, JVS Toronto helps thousands of clients find jobs. Whether you are new to the work force, or are facing unemployment for the first time in your life, we can help you.
