A new type of vocational training program for Jewish youth of high-school age has been set up by the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies, it was announced today by George Z. Medalie, president.
In operation since last month, the service which reaches 1,000 boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 18, does not wait for youth with vocational problems to be referred to it, but goes out into the community to meet clients, forming discussion groups and providing consultation service in YMHA’S, YWHA’S, settlement houses and synagogues.
