The
International Association of Jewish Vocational Services (IAJVS)
is a not-for-profit association that links 28 health and human
service agencies in the United States, Canada, and Israel
to provide a wide range of educational, vocational, and rehabilitation
services. Through our member agencies, individuals seeking
to improve their lives gain access to a vast array of services
such as career management, skills training, rehabilitation
programs, and health services.
The IAJVS network of organizations is guided by a common
mission set forth by the medieval Jewish philosopher, Moses
Maimonides: the greatest charity lies in helping people
to become self-sufficient. To realize our shared mission,
IAJVS provides its membership with services that strengthen
local capacity. IAJVS serves as the collective voice, representing
the network nationally and internationally, and promoting
the important work of its local agencies here and abroad.

Since it’s founding in 1939, the IAJVS network has
