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.
Jubilee Jobs Staff: Jubilee’s employees are at the core of the Jubilee family. From Terry Flood, our Executive Director who celebrated 25 years of service to Jubilee in 2006, to our counseling, development and support staff, all are vital to our success. Please meet them:
