Founded in 1892, JFS was established to support Jewish immigrants arriving in the Pacific Northwest. Rooted in Jewish values of tikkun olam (repairing the world) and community service, the organization initially provided essential aid such as housing, employment assistance, and financial relief to new arrivals seeking a fresh start.

Today, JFS serves almost five thousand individuals annually, focusing on vulnerable populations such as refugees, older adults, people experiencing food and/or housing insecurity, and those in crisis. With a multi-million-dollar budget, a dedicated team, and a vast network of volunteers, JFS continues to be a pillar of compassion and social support in the Puget Sound region.

JFS is seeking a senior executive with the vision, skills and experience to lead the organization into its next phase of growth and impact.
