JEVS HUMAN SERVICES (JEVS)

Letter from Cynthia & Laurie Dear Friend,

We’re thrilled to present our Fiscal Year 2023 Annual Report, titled “Creating opportunities.

Cultivating independence.” It reflects JEVS Human Services (JEVS) unwavering commitment to help people have opportunities to meet their goals with support that fosters independence.

In the past year, JEVS made a significant impact by serving nearly 16,000 individuals and their families. Our focus areas include youth, unemployed and underemployed adults, older adults, individuals with disabilities, those seeking in-home support, refugees, and justice-involved individuals.

Cynthia Figueroa President & CEO

Our vibrant community of program participants, staff, volunteers, donors, and dedicated board members share our passion for creating opportunities and nurturing independence.

We firmly believe that these endeavors not only transform the lives of individuals but also strengthen their families and communities.

This shared vision drives us to expand our services, innovate, and adapt to meet the evolving needs of today. In this regard, we are pleased to share remarkable growth in key areas. Our JEVS youth programs provided 152 students with invaluable career exploration opportunities, helping them obtain high school diplomas. Some even earned healthcare credentials, participated in externships, and were then hired by our employer partners. Our commitment to individuals with disabilities is exemplified by the expansion of our residential services. Plus, we’ve broadened our diversion and re-entry programs to serve 595 justice-involved individuals who now have a second chance through our workforce development initiatives.

We are also pleased to welcome Laurie Franz, our new Board Chair, who brings decades of experience in board governance and philanthropy. Her deep knowledge of JEVS and its programs, coupled with her unshakable passion for our mission and the people we serve, adds tremendous value to our leadership.

Laurie Franz Chair, Board of Directors

As we press forward with current strategic investments, we appreciate all that your support makes possible.

Thank you for being a part of the JEVS network!

In service,

President & CEO

SERVICES FOR REFUGEES

531

individuals seeking employment were served by the Center for New Americans Helping New Americans Build New Lives

When refugees arrive in a new country, they often have to leave behind everything they’ve known. They might not even know where they’re going or speak the local language, like Tetiana and her family, who had to escape the RussianUkrainian war. They came to a new place with nothing, but the JEVS Center for New Americans (CNA) staff helped them complete necessary paperwork and schedule appointments to enroll their kids in school. CNA helped Tetiana and her husband find jobs, too. All these efforts combined make a significant impact on their ability to rebuild their lives and become more independent in their new home.

1,883

individuals ages 16-24 served by JEVS “They’re all my favorite.” - Sylvia Project WOW, or the World of Work program, is designed for teens and young adults between 16 and 24 years old. It helps them get a high school diploma and learn skills for jobs in the building trades or in Information Technology (IT).

When they join, Sylvia is there to help and support them. She’s been at JEVS for 30 years and grew up in North Philadelphia, just like some of the young people in the program.

Project WOW offers a chance for these young adults to get a good education and job skills, so they can be independent and successful in life.

From Project WOW to JEVS Employee:

“I’m honored to be a part of JEVS. While participating in Project WOW and working here at JEVS, I’ve met great people who continuously show me they want the best for me and in return I show up to be the best I can be.”

DIVERSION & RE-ENTRY

595

individuals served through the diversion & re-entry programs, including The Choice is Yours (TCY) Empowered for the Future For individuals with non-violent drug convictions, stigma and lack of opportunity can create barriers. For many, it prevents them from pursuing a better path, even when they want to. TCY gives individuals the chance to finish high school and get their diplomas. When they successfully complete the program, they can also get their records cleared, which gives them a fresh start. TCY graduates are 85% more likely to avoid future justice involvement than counterparts not in the program.
