Youth Services at JVS Los Angeles

Jonathan “Jon” David is founder and CEO of media-buying and optimization company Tapstone Holdings, headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Outside of his responsibilities at Tapstone, Jonathan David is active in charity work and is a supporter of Jewish Vocational Services (JVS).

Established in the early 1930s after the Great Depression, JVS continues with its work of helping individuals overcome obstacles to finding jobs so that they can support their families, regain their dignity, and become productive members of their communities.

At JVS Los Angeles, Youth Services are programs designed to help at-risk youth receive job training as well as assistance in setting education and career goals so that they will be prepared to lead productive lives. One such service, A Girl’s Place, partners with the Los Angeles County Department of Probation to offer individualized services to high-risk high school girls, encouraging positive living and helping them improve their self-esteem. Another program, the Community Service Block Grant, provides career-planning and job placement assistance to youths aged 16 to 24 from low-income backgrounds.
