Department of Multicultural Services
JVS brings the American Dream to life for over a thousand refugees and immigrants each year who arrive from all over the world.
Although they often leave behind professional careers, friends and family members, these individuals gain a second chance in the U.S. through JVS’ acculturation and employment programs.
JVS’ Department of Multicultural Services is funded through the County of Los Angeles, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society and the Jewish Federation Council of Los Angeles.

An established journalist in her country, she was an outspoken advocate for womens' rights in a highly traditional society and paid an unspeakable price for her courage. With the friendship, guidance and support she received from her JVS counselors, Juliet is on her way to a new career and a restored sense of hope.
