Jewish Family Services of Delaware, Inc.

Our goals and priorities are to: 1) Help adults, adolescents, children and families deal with life's challenges, cope and find solutions to problems; 2) Help older and physically challenged adults lead independent and fulfilling lives; and 3) Help youth develop critical thinking, problem solving and communication skills.

Growth Plan Goals:
1. People: JFS will build on the strength of its people and reputation ensuring that direct services staff represent the top talent in the industry and the agency’s administrative staff can sufficiently support the entirety of the agency’s functions. Through its expertise, dedication, resources, connections, and talent, JFS Board of Directors will help the agency meet its goals.
2. Strategy: JFS Board of Directors, in partnership with its professional leadership team, will develop a realistic and innovative strategic plan.
3. Revenue: JFS will re-energize revenue growth and establish reliable vehicles that ensure sustainability to cover expenses associated with running the organization and maintaining a commitment to those services and populations for which the funding to meet their needs at the highest quality is limited or in jeopardy. JFS will also rebuild our reserves to ensure financial stability.
4. Programs & Outcomes: JFS will develop and implement a system that tracks every program’s outcomes with accuracy and ease of documentation and reporting to both report on impact and utilize for continuous quality improvement.
5. Narrative: JFS will establish a system for collection, storage and dissemination of the agency’s impact story. JFS will also utilize multiple vehicles, with consistency, to share its story of impact, establish itself as a thought leader, and further promote its brand.

With leadership from the board of directors, JFS works towards achieving financial sustainability. JFS is professionally led by an expert leadership team that provides support and oversight of all activities. In addition, JFS has worked hard to develop, nurture and maintain collaborations with other local institutions for the benefit of its clients and to ensure comprehensive seamless care.
