Give a gift that changes lives!

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page for Jobs for Youth (JFY) Chicago!  I have been a volunteer for JFY for seven years and became Chair of the Associate Board this year.  I have continued to support JFY for so many years because of their exceptional programs and proven success transforming the lives of young adults in our community. 

For over 30 years, Jobs For Youth has helped young men and women from low-income families become a part of the economic mainstream; and, in the process, provided the business community with motivated, job-ready workers.  JFY's programs are free and serve 17-24 year olds with a variety of services, including pre-employment training, GED preparation, computer training and job placement services. More importantly, they provide their clients with confidence and hope for their future.  As their tag line says, "A Life.  A Job.  A Future."  For more information, visit www.jfychicago.org
