“What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?” – George Eliot

Traditional Roots. Modern Purpose.

Since 1920, Jewish Community Services of South Florida has remained true to its original mission of providing exemplary social services through compassionate and comprehensive programs that help people stay healthy and productive. By partnering with our funding agencies, sister organizations and local leaders, JCS continuously strengthens and solidifies its outreach and its impact. In this way, JCS continues to be a beacon of help, healing and hope as it addresses current needs with these three divisions:

Mental Health Services: For Your Emotional Well-Being

Dedicated to the optimum mental health of everyone – whether they’re children, adolescents, adults or seniors – our staff of experienced licensed professionals provides a wide range of counseling services such as crisis intervention, help with addictions, domestic abuse prevention, and programs for gays and lesbians.

Senior Support Services: For Your Personal Well-Being At Home

Keeping seniors active, healthy and living in their own homes for as long as possible, as well as assisting others in need – regardless of age – is the second focus of JCS.  From locations throughout Miami-Dade County, JCS helps clients maintain their dignity and independence with diverse initiatives.

Rehabilitation & Employment Services: For Your Vocational Well-Being

JCS offers assistance to people facing deep-seated obstacles that inhibit their ability to find or maintain a job.  These barriers include lack of education, physical disabilities, drug abuse, homelessness, criminal history, transportation difficulties and language deficiencies.
