JAFCO’s mission is to provide care, safety, and support to children and their families within the Jewish community and beyond who are impacted by abuse, neglect, trauma, or developmental disabilities with high-quality services including foster care, adoption, family preservation, mentoring, independent living programs, developmental disability programs, case management, therapy, and family enrichment.  Our numerous programs serve all populations from birth to seniors in different capacities. The role of the social worker can include conducting intakes, note-writing, completing therapeutic case management, interacting with children in the emergency shelter or group homes, collaborating with agencies or schools in the community, and assisting in implementing structural interventions in the home to strengthen and maintain families in the community.
