VISION


A Jewish community where every individual and family receive the support and assistance they need to thrive.

 

 

MISSION


Guided by our values, Jewish Family Services provides a range of supportive, mental health, and volunteer services and programs that are dedicated to the well-being of the Jewish community and contribute to the vibrancy of the greater Greensboro community.

 

 

STRATEGIC PLAN


Our strategic plan outlines the steps we are taking in the next few years to bring Jewish Family Services closer to our mission and vision. Read the full plan here.

VALUES THAT GUIDE OUR WORK:

 

  • Ahavat Yisrael – Love of Israel. The Greensboro Jewish Federation is a Zionist organization, supporting the Jewish people’s right to self-determination in our ancestral homeland, the State of Israel.
     

  • K’lal Yisrael – The collective Jewish people. We believe that all Jews are interconnected and our community is part of a larger whole that recognizes Jewish peoplehood as a core component of our collective identity.
     

  • Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh Bazeh – All Jews are responsible for one another. We are accountable for the well-being of Jews in Israel and the Diaspora and obligated to care for each other in times of need.
     

  • B’tzelem Elohim – Divine uniqueness. All human beings possess dignity, value, and worth and we celebrate our diversity.
     

  • Tzedekah – Justice through giving. We have a duty to offer individuals the opportunity to help those in need of resources.
     

  • Tikkun Olam – Repairing the world. We are responsible for making the world a better place for all. We do this locally through the provision of social services by Jewish Family Services.
     

  • Gemilut Hasadim – Acts of loving kindness. We assist those who are vulnerable through direct, relational service.
