Jewish Vocational Service of Kansas City is a nonprofit organization based in Kansas City, Missouri, that operates in the field of individual and family services with a focus on employment. It was founded in 1949 to support Holocaust survivors, refugees, and others returning from World War II as they established new lives in the United States. Today, the organization provides programs that address a range of barriers to employment for people in the community. Examples of its work include coaching clients on how to request disability accommodations at work and assisting newly arrived refugees with enrolling their children in school. It is considered a mid-sized nonprofit focused on workforce development and employment services in the region. The organization seeks to connect clients with workplace opportunities and to reduce barriers to self-sufficiency.
