Jewish Vocational Service:
Empowering Individuals, Enriching Lives
It's an exciting time at Jewish Vocational Service. We're celebrating two milestones:
Our 70th Anniversary and the rededication of our Blue Ash builing.

Peter Bloch, JVS Chief Executive Officer and President, cuts a ribbon to rededicate the JVS Blue Ash building after major renovations. He is joined, from left, by Cheryl Phipps, Superintendent of Hamilton County Developmental Disabilities Services; Joel Brant, Chair of the JVS Board of Trustees; and Shep Englander, Chief Executive Officer of the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati.

Donald Borgemenke, a JVS Adult Day Services comsumer, dances in the renovated Adult Day Services room during Cinco de Mayo theme day, part of the 70th Anniversary celebration.
The purpose of JVS is to empower individuals to enrich their lives. We do that in several ways:
- By providing training, work and related services to people with developmental disabilities;
- By providing recreation, socialization and other activities to older adults with developmental disabilities;
- By advising clients of our Cincinnati Career Network how to advance their professional lives.
