Founded by three social workers, The Jacob Center believes strongly that every youth is inherently resilient.
Our team works hard to operate our programming and tailor our interventions around this principle, seeking to empower youth and build upon their strengths and interests.
In 2022, The Jacob Center worked with more than 500 individuals.
The dedicated support of our compassionate community partners and donors has allowed us to reach further than ever before.
