Jobs Initiative

The Jobs Initiative was an eight-year, $30 million effort to help 18-24 year old, inner-city residents obtain family-supporting jobs. JFF provided assistance to the intiative's funder and sites to help them achieve systemic reforms that improve job opportunities for low-income people in their regions.

Nationally, the Jobs Initiative placed more than 12,000 low-income people in jobs, catalyzed numerous innovations in the field, and was responsible for significant systems reforms in a number of its sites. For more information and access to Jobs Initiative publications, visit aecf.org.
