Jubilee Family

Jubilee Jobs succeeds through great efforts by a small number of people – our dedicated employees (some of whom are alumni of Jubilee Jobs’ program), our volunteers, our Board of Directors and Corporate Advisory Board, our Women’s Committee, and our steadfast contributors and employers, who provide the funding and employment opportunities so central to our mission.
