Career Services

For decades, JVS has operated as a division of Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Minneapolis (JFCS). In our Centennial year, JFCS has restructured from two divisions – JVS and Family Service – into one full-service agency providing a more holistic approach to quality career services.

The work and staff members of our former JVS division remain in place.
