Jobs for Youth-Chicago
Jobs for Youth/Chicago, Inc. (JFY) was a Chicago-based nonprofit organization that helped young men and women from low income homes between the ages of 17 and 24 to prepare for, find, and keep jobs. Most of the youth JFY served were from Chicago’s inner city. JFY charged no fees for its services and was supported by individuals, foundations – both private and corporate — and federal government grants and contracts. By 1992 JFY was training and placing 1,000 young people in unsubsidized jobs annually, performance far exceeding that of any other organization of its kind anywhere.
==Background==
JFY began as a very small agency, with 12 employees when it opened its doors in 1979. In its first year, JFY only served high school dropouts, offering a single half-day of training before sending enrollees on job interviews. JFY made less than 100 job placements during its first twelve months of operation, and most of these were with fast food chains and small retail stores.
By the early 1990s JFY had grown substantially, with a Board of Directors mostly from the business community, a budget of about $1 million by 1994, and was making 1,500 job placements per year with more than 400 local businesses. The agency was recognized for its work by a number of civic and government organizations, ranging from the United Way to the White House. By the early 1990s, hiring employers included banks and other financial services firms, accounting firms, various corporate headquarters, major department stores, hospitals, and airline and airport service businesses.
By this time, JFY had gained financial support from government, businesses, private foundations, as well as many individuals. JFY also had established a volunteer program, with a cadre of more than 200 professionals helping in all aspects of JFY's operations, from teaching the young clients on through fund-raising and program marketing.
