Program:
JFS is hosting its 2nd Annual Career Fair and we need your help! The event will take place on Saturday, October 22nd from 10:00am-2:00pm (set up will begin at 8:00am).
This is an opportunity to help us grow our incredible JFS team and, as a result, continue to provide much-needed services in our community! To learn more about this event, you can check out the JFS Careers Page or JFS Job Board.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to serve as ambassadors of JFS. They will have an opportunity to share their own experiences with JFS and being changemakers in the community.
