Please join Jobs For Youth (JFY) for our Annual Board of Directors Gala on Friday, June 17, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. at the Palmer House.  All of the funds raised from this event will be used to support JFY's work and support youths in our local community.
 
JFY serves a significant number of youths with special barriers to success in the workforce, including school dropouts, pregnant and parenting teens, and youths who are or have been involved with gangs and/or the criminal justice system. JFY also serves youth who are in the foster care system, and youths who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.  
 
We continue to provide education and job-training services to more than 1,100 young adults annually in the Chicago community through career and life skills workshops. Over the last five years, JFY graduates have brought over $60,000,000 of their income revenue back into our city’s most challenged neighborhoods, becoming an organic economic driver for their communities.
 
Your attendance will make a difference in the lives of hundreds of at-risk, unemployed and hopeful young adults, as well as their families and communities that they live in.
 
With appreciation,
 
The Jobs For Youth Board Gala Committee
