The plan will guide the organization over the next 3 years in meeting the needs of various communities in the tri-state area.

Philadelphia, PA (September 18, 2024) — JEVS Human Services (JEVS) has announced its strategic plan for the fiscal years 2025-2027, titled “Expanding Opportunities. Fostering Independence.” These priorities merge the mission and vision of JEVS into a forward-looking plan to address the growing and changing needs of the Greater Delaware Valley communities we serve. 

The plan was developed by more than 500 voices, including interviews with external stakeholders, participants, guidance from the employee strategic planning committee, executive leadership, and the board of directors. Over the next 3 years, we are committed to the following strategic priorities:  

  1. Expanding integrated, innovative, and sustainable programs. 
  2. Increasing visibility and influencing stakeholders to benefit those we serve. 
  3. Maintaining JEVS’ financial sustainability. 
  4. Being a mission-driven employer of choice.  

“Our new strategic plan rests on a solid foundation of more than eight decades of experience, passion, and our resolve to work with individuals to create sustainable paths to independence,” said JEVS President and CEO, Cynthia F. Figueroa. “This plan will help position JEVS as a leading nonprofit, locally and nationally.”  

“This strategic plan is a testament to our dedication to serving Greater Philadelphia communities with excellence and compassion,” said JEVS Board Chair, Laurie Franz. “We are excited for what lies ahead and confident that with the collective efforts of our staff, partners, and supporters, we can make significant strides in addressing unmet needs for the communities we serve.” 

The plan will occur during JEVS’ 85th year of operation, which we will celebrate in 2026, as the U.S. celebrates its 250th founding. JEVS began in 1941 to help Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis during World War II resettle in the United States and find meaningful work. The strategic plan builds on those roots and will guide us into the future as a leading force in workforce development, healthcare programs, youth services, and essential careers which provide pathways to independence.  

We look forward to sharing our progress with our stakeholders and supporters in the coming years.
