FEGS Trades and Business School

The following is the mission statement of FEGS established and approved by the founders of the Agency and Board of Directors:

To work in partnership with UJA-Federation in helping to plan for and meet the needs of the Jewish and general community in New York and Israel.

To serve individuals and families, in the Jewish and general communities, who have mental, developmental and physical disabilities or who are economically disadvantaged.

This is accomplished through the provision of career planning, functional and vocational assessment, employment, skills training, educational, psychiatric, developmental, residential, community adjustment, client advocacy and information and referral services.

These services are provided for the purpose of eliminating barriers to economic, social and independent living adjustment, and addressing these problems in order to maximize each individual's potential so he/she may participate more fully in the community and achieve his/her maximum level of independence.
