Skill-building Through Service Van
Providing transportation for our clients is vital to the success of our Skill-building Through Service initiative. Thanks to the generosity of Valley Bank, JVS has acquired a new 12-passenger van that will enable us to transport even more clients to and from their internships and volunteer engagements located throughout Essex County.
