JEVS Human Services (JEVS) has an 80+ year history of working with individuals to create sustainable paths to independence and economic security. In 2024 alone, we served over 19,000 people in our region—but our work is far from done. Every day, more individuals reach out for support for themselves and their families. The need for jobs, education, and vital services continues to grow.

That’s why we invite you to join us on June 5 for our 3rd annual Grow with JEVS fundraiser, an evening dedicated to supporting the critical programs and services we provide.

Join Us for a Meaningful Evening

Grow with JEVS will take place at the Crystal Tea Room in the historic Wanamaker building. Guests will enjoy dinner and drinks while connecting with changemakers, local leaders, and fellow supporters. The evening will also feature a silent auction, raffle, and opportunities to engage—and make a difference.

Providing Crucial Programs and Services

JEVS supports individuals across nearly every age group and background—including people with disabilities, individuals with behavioral health needs, youth and young adults, those who are underemployed or unemployed, refugees, returning citizens, individuals diverted from prison, and older adults.

Through a wide range of specialized programs and services, we create pathways for individuals to achieve personal independence and fulfillment. Our work includes:

  • Workforce development
  • Career & Technical Education
  • Community living and home support
  • JEVS Care at Home

We also connect youth to paid work experiences through Career Connected Learning Philadelphia (C2L-PHL) and provide job support through PA CareerLink® Philadelphia.

Why Your Support Matters

The Grow with JEVS fundraiser plays a crucial role in helping us expand our reach. By joining us on June 5, you’re helping to ensure that even more individuals can access the services and opportunities they need to thrive.

An added way to support our mission is through the Orleans Technical College Scholarship Fund. Your donation helps break down financial barriers to education and training, opening doors for those ready to take the next step. Every contribution—no matter the size—makes a difference. Contribute here.

Thank You to Our Sponsors

We are incredibly grateful for the generous support of our sponsors, whose contributions make this event—and our mission—possible. Special thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, Citizens, and our Champion Sponsor, The Odell Studner Group, an Acrisure Partner. For a full list of sponsors, please visit this link.

We Hope to See You on June 5!

Grow with JEVS is both a celebration and a call to action. Help us continue the work JEVS began over 80 years ago—providing the tools, training, and resources that people need to lead independent, fulfilling lives.
