The Jacob Center team is made up of deeply present, fiercely compassionate, purpose-driven individuals who lead with empathy, curiosity, and courage. They show up fully for the youth and families they serve—not as fixers, but as listeners and partners, honoring each person’s story.
In 2024, The Jacob Center worked with more than 300 individuals.
The dedicated support of our compassionate community partners and donors has allowed us to reach further than ever before.
