JVS of MetroWest JVS of MetroWest helps underserved individuals help themselves overcome barriers to employment Thank you for your interest in JVS.

Using the slogan “Helping People Help Themselves,” JVS repairs the world, one person at a time; allowing our clients to achieve the highest degree of independence and dignity. Our staff of more than 100 skilled professionals work with a diverse range of individuals in need of employment, education, training, rehabilitation, eldercare and other specialized services—from the unskilled single mother

receiving public assistance to the highly skilled corporate executive; from the sixteen-year-old high school dropout in trouble with the law to the recent college graduate; from the non-English speaking refugee to American-born adults seeking to earn their GED; from the high school freshman with autism to the frail elderly woman living alone on a fixed income. JVS fulfills its mission each and every day by living our adopted credo: “The highest degree of charity is to take hold of persons who have been crushed . . . to find work for them and thus put them on their feet so they will not be dependent upon others.” (Moses Maimonides, 1135-1204)

Today, more than ever, we need your support to continue to offer the wide array of life-enhancing services our clients require. Please consider volunteering your time, reaching out on behalf of our clients to businesses and professionals you know, and making a tax deductible donation. Your generosity and support is greatly appreciated.

JVS Taste & Toast 2026

A memorable evening celebrating leadership, achievement, and opportunity, featuring insights from ESPN Front Office Insider and Analyst Mike Tannenbaum.

We are grateful to Mike Tannenbaum, our guest speaker at Taste & Toast 2026, for an engaging conversation with Joe Leccese, one of the country's preeminent attorneys in sports and media.

The evening brought together supporters, partners, and friends as we celebrated our honorees, David Picon and eXpack USA, and the impact of JVS's mission.

Thank you, Mike, for your kind words about JVS of MetroWest and our work helping people help themselves, and thank you to everyone who supported the event.

I enjoyed the fireside chat I had with Joe Leccese at the JVS Event honoring David Picon of Proskauer Rose LLP. JVS is an incredible organization which focuses on helping people make meaningful transitions in the workplace and developing new skills to enhance their careers.

As part of their training, our Pharmacy Technician and EKG/Phlebotomy students completed CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS) training through the American Heart Association. This was a hands-on training where students learned important lifesaving skills which included identifying a life-threatening emergency, chest compressions, rescue breathing, AED use, and appropriate response techniques. This training will help prepare the students for healthcare careers and teach valuable skills that can make a difference during emergencies.
