Jubilee Jobs

The mission of Jubilee Jobs is to provide professional, compassionate job placement into marketplace jobs for persons eager and ready to work. Since 1981, Jubilee Jobs has been connecting employers across the Washington, DC metropolitan area with qualified and well-prepared candidates. We began by responding to the needs of individuals residing in local, low-income housing program and have grown to be one of the city’s largest and longest-serving employment organizations. Through our process of compassionate, professional job preparation and placement, over 27,000 people have gone to work, meeting the needs of individuals and business community citywide. All services are free to both applicants and employees. Work for sustenance, dignity and hope describes the common goal of Jubilee Jobs that we share with those who walk through our door. We believe that ever applicant comes to us with a core of goodness. Therefore, all services begin at the place of strengths and positive gifts, no matter the past or previous experiences. Our strategy for success and advancement is to replace the isolation of unemployment with the productivity of a job, and to increase levels of a supportive community around work. Through the efforts of our employment professionals, our volunteers, our employer partners and our donors we achieve this goal. Gaining employment is often the most transformative event for those in need because an adequate income then enables that individual to provide for their most basic necessities. With more than 39 years of experience, Jubilee Jobs has developed a strong reputation for making strides to reducing poverty through job placement.
