JVS FY14 Annual Report

IDEAS INTO
ACTION
JVS 2014 Annual Report
LETTER FROM OUR CEO AND CHAIR
Dear JVS Friends and Supporters,
OUR MISSION
Empowering individuals from diverse
communities to find employment and build
careers, while partnering with employers to hire,
develop, and retain productive workforces.
As you read this year’s annual report, the JVS offices are in transition as we
prepare to make our first move in a decade to 75 Federal Street, where we
have created the Center for Economic Opportunity. In this new, exciting
environment JVS is poised and ready to meet Boston’s opportunity gap head on.
We will be able to bring our high quality programs and services to an additional
5,000 people annually.
In looking at the 2014 Annual Report, you will see the many necessary steps
that brought us to this crucial point in our development. You’ll see highlights
from Fall 2013 through Summer 2014, and how we have taken innovative ideas
and developed them into actionable programs that benefit the agency and the
people we serve.
• I n 2012, we hosted a forum to present the results of a groundbreaking Social
Return on Investment (SROI) study on JVS’s work. This well-attended event
attracted thought leaders in the workforce development field and the wider
non-profit sector. At this forum, we were introduced to the organization Social
Finance, who eventually became our partner in the $15M Pay for Success bond
that was announced in 2014.
• O
ur CJP/JVS Emerging Jewish Leaders Internship Program was the result of
creative thought from several directions. Community leader Jill Cohen came to
CJP with her idea of giving young adults a “leg up” in entering the job market.
This, combined with a similar model from JVS San Francisco, resulted in our
creation of a successful eight week internship program for fourteen college
students, who gained valuable work experience at Jewish agencies throughout
the Boston area.
WE’VE GOT A NEW LOOK!
The JVS logo has been updated to reflect our core values – honoring our legacy,
partnership, respect, learning, quality – and to capture the diversity of our
programs and clients. This new branding, created by Elephantik LLC, showcases
our growth and represents the innovative, welcoming environment we create for
those we serve. The tagline “Skills · Jobs · Careers” continues to be featured on
our logo due to its key connection to our mission and daily work.
• O
ver the summer, the United Way and LISC (Local Initiative Support
Corporation) released a request for proposals for development of Financial
Opportunity Centers (FOC) in the Boston area. This concept aligned with our
strategic plan to provide more effective wrap-around support services for our
clients. We learned that we received this grant in the fall, and FOC programming
is currently underway, influencing services agency-wide.
Throughout the report you’ll also read more about the recipients of the ideas
into action theme – the people JVS serves daily. As they arrive at JVS seeking to
improve their lives by building their skills and reaching towards better jobs, our
dedicated staff collaborates with them to put their hopes and dreams into action.
We see those results every day, and are grateful to our friends and supporters for
making this a reality.
With deep appreciation,
Jerry Rubin, JVS President and CEO Mark Stein, Chair, JVS Board of Directors

IDEAS INTO ACTION
FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY CENTER
PAY FOR SUCCESS
In August 2014, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
announced its selection of JVS, in partnership with financial
intermediary Social Finance, to develop the nation’s first Pay
For Success (PFS) initiative to deliver Adult Basic Education
leading to employment. The PFS model channels investors’
money into social services at no initial cost to taxpayers. When
the program hits agreed upon benchmarks, the state repays
the investors with interest. This $15M initiative will be the first
to define success through revenue to the state, as opposed to
savings to the state based on prevention.
JVS will be scaling up proven programs along four key tracks:
1. Rapid employment,
“Adult Education Initiative Gets Boost”
CLAIRE MCNEIL – August 13, 2014
“Massachusetts Makes New Workforce Investment”
BROOKE DERENZIS – August 26, 2014
2. English for Advancement,
The creation of JVS’ Financial Opportunity Center (FOC)
was announced in Fall 2014. A FOC utilizes an integrated
services approach that combines workforce development,
income support services and financial coaching to
improve the lives of low- and middle-income adults. This
year, the FOC will assist 200 individuals in completing a
comprehensive financial assessment, including 1:1 financial
coaching.
Jerry Rubin, President and CEO, is “elated that JVS has
been given the opportunity to open a Financial Opportunity
Center (FOC) as part of our new Center for Economic
Opportunity. Providing JVS customers with the financial
education and tools they need to avoid high-cost ‘predatory’
financial arrangements, and take advantage of benefits
like the Earned Income Tax Credit, will go a long way to
helping them achieve economic self-sufficiency. The
FOC is a perfect complement to our education, skills, and
employment services.”
The FOC services are based on LISC’s data-driven best
practices, which show that bundling services is more
effective. Research shows that clients engaged in two or
more services are ten times more likely to improve net
income. Doreen Treacy, VP of Career Services, sums up
the impact of these expanded services, saying “The JVS
Financial Opportunity Center will assist clients to gain
employment, retain employment, and build assets for long
term financial security.”

4. Bridges to College.

These tracks will build language and vocational skills for nearly
3,000 individuals, and expand JVS services to gateway cities
such as Lynn and Framingham. The ultimate goal of these
services is to help individuals make successful transitions to
employment, higher wage jobs and higher education.
tight-knit and caring it is, especially in the greater Boston
area. Most importantly I learned that Jewish leaders are
very willing to help out all types of people.”
– MIRANDA SMITH, INTERNSHIP PARTICIPANT
“We are thrilled to be chosen to participate in this important
initiative, and honored to be recognized as an effective provider
of adult education and workforce development services,” said
Jerry Rubin, JVS President and CEO. “We’ve been helping
people gain the skills they need to get good jobs and earn good
wages for more than 75 years, and this initiative will enable us
to significantly expand our work and impact.”
EMERGING JEWISH LEADERS INTERNSHIP IN MEMORY OF M. BRADLEY JACOBS
During Summer 2014, JVS and CJP launched a new pilot
program, which placed 14 college juniors and seniors in paid
internships with Jewish Communal Service agencies. The
pilot program met its goals:

The program ran for 8 weeks, with participants working 21
hours/week at their host sites, and attending seminars on
Fridays. The seminars covered professional development
topics such as strategic volunteering, business ethics, and
finding work that supports your values.
Behind the scenes, the program got off the ground due to

staff members. CJP secured the first major gift that enabled
JVS to begin developing a program. Soon afterward, Jill
Cohen decided that the idea of giving young adults a “leg
up” in entering the job market would be a fitting tribute to
her late husband M. Bradley Jacobs, and Jill committed to
raising the necessary funds from her family and friends. In
recognition of her tireless efforts, the pilot program was
dedicated to the memory of Brad.

FY 2014 INCOME
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
39% Contributions and Grants
37 % Government Contracts
JVS Boston continues to show impressive growth and is
reporting a 19% increase in revenues from the previous year.
This growth is a combination of increases in government funding
such as the Secure Jobs program and Learn at Work, increased
support from the business community through the Business
Services training programs and the generosity of individuals and
foundations.
The growth in FY 14 combined with sound management
provided JVS Boston with an increase in Net Assets of just over
$850K. This brings the value of JVS’s Net Assets to $6.2M as of
9/30/2014.
