		JAFCO - an incredible organization helping with adoption and foster care services in Florida, and now in Pennsylvania www.jafco.org Mission Statment" JAFCO’s mission is to care for abused and neglected children and those with developmental disabilities in the Jewish community while working in partnership with families in the entire community. JAFCO provides a full continuum of high quality services including foster care, adoption, family preservation, mentoring, independent living and developmental disability programs. The JAFCO Children’s Village, consisting of an Emergency Shelter and Six Group Homes, is one of the most unique and innovative programs in the nation. The JAFCO Children’s Ability Center supports families raising children with developmental disabilities by providing family enrichment, resources, and respite care all within one state-of-the-art center. JAFCO recently became officially licensed as a Foster Care and Adoption Agency in PA and our Philadelphia office is providing family preservation services to families in the Northeast Communities…giving every child a place to belong. Vision: Our vision is to provide a privately funded model child welfare program which can be replicated by other communities around the country including a continuum of high quality family preservation, foster care, adoption, emergency shelter, group home, independent living, and mentoring services to at-risk and special needs children and families in the community and support, treatment and respite care for families raising children with developmental disabilities. This model would work in partnership with the state and in collaboration with other local agencies. Our immediate vision is to provide an entire continuum of child welfare services to children and their families in the South Florida Jewish community (incorporating the counties of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach). Our long-range vision is to help promote the development of comprehensive services to abused, neglected, homeless and special needs children in other Jewish communities — whether those services are provided by local autonomous agencies or by JAFCO directly. While JAFCO was created to meet an unmet need in the Jewish community, as a Jewish community it is our privilege and our responsibility to serve any child or family in need.

		The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum www.ushmm.org A living memorial to the Holocaust, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum inspires citizens and leaders worldwide to confront hatred, prevent genocide, and promote human dignity. Federal support guarantees the Museum’s permanent place on the National Mall, and its far-reaching educational programs and global impact are made possible by generous donors. Located among our national monuments to freedom on the National Mall, the Museum provides a powerful lesson in the fragility of freedom, the myth of progress, and the need for vigilance in preserving democratic values. With unique power and authenticity, the Museum teaches millions of people each year about the dangers of unchecked hatred and the need to prevent genocide. And we encourage them to act, cultivating a sense of moral responsibility among our citizens so that they will respond to the monumental challenges that confront our world. Today we face an alarming rise in Holocaust denial and antisemitism—even in the very lands where the Holocaust happened—as well as genocide and threats of genocide in other parts of the world. This is occurring just as we approach a time when Holocaust survivors and other eyewitnesses will no longer be alive. The Museum works closely with many key segments of society who will affect the future of our nation. By studying the choices made by individuals and institutions during the Holocaust, professionals from the fields of law enforcement, the judiciary, and the military, as well as diplomacy, medicine, education, and religion, gain fresh insight into their own responsibilities today. In addition to our leadership training programs, the Museum sponsors onsite and traveling exhibitions, educational outreach, and Holocaust commemorations, including the nation’s annual observance of the Days of Remembrance in the US Capitol. Our Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies fosters the continued growth and vitality of the field of Holocaust studies. Our Center for the Prevention of Genocide works to educate, engage, and inspire the public to learn more about past genocides—such as those in Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur—and to consider what they can do to prevent these atrocities in the future. The Center for the Prevention of Genocide also works to galvanize policy makers both in the US and around the world to create the tools and structures needed to avert the next crisis. Since its dedication in 1993, the Museum has welcomed more than 40 million visitors, including 99 heads of state and more than ten million school-age children. Our website, the world’s leading online authority on the Holocaust, is available in 16 languages and was visited in 2015 by more than 16.5 million people representing 211 countries and territories.
