History
 
Jewish Community Services (JCS), a non-profit human service agency, was launched July 1, 2008 through a consolidation of four existing social service agencies - Jewish Family Services, Jewish Vocational Service, Jewish Addiction Services, and Jewish Big Brother/Big Sister League - under the auspices of THE ASSOCIATED: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore. These four original agencies have rich histories, the oldest of which dates back to 1856.

Uniting the agencies into a seamless, integrated human service organization made it possible to provide a broad range of services that effectively respond to the diverse, multi-dimensional needs of those in our community.

 JCS offers:
• Short term consultation services to help people address life’s challenges
