Who We Are
As a multi-service agency, Jewish Family and Child Service provides support to vulnerable members of the Jewish and broader communities experiencing a spectrum of life challenges. Founded in 1868, JF&CS is built around the pillars of enhancing safety and security, reducing the effects of poverty, and improving mental health and wellness. We are the mandated Children’s Aid Society for Jewish families in the GTA, and support vulnerable populations, including those living in poverty, experiencing domestic violence, facing mental health struggles and other difficult obstacles.
Jewish Family and Child Service is seeking candidates to serve on the Board of Directors.
