Caroline Simon served on the FEGS Board from 1949 till her death in July, 1993. She served as FEGS President from 1981 to 1985 and as Chair from 1985 to 1991. "Federation Employment and Guidance Serves is an inspiration to me," said Judge Simon. "I admire the staff tremendously for uniting, caring and competence, for the imagination which anticipates our community's needs and designing innovative programs which address those needs." "When I was a member of the NY State Commission against discrimination in the late 1940's I used to refer employers to FEGS to help them find competent workers from various racial, ethnic and religious groups", said Judge Simon.

FEGS helps 100,000 individuals and families each year achieve greater dignity and independence. Our programs reach job seekers and people in career transition, individuals with behavioral health, developmental and other disabilities, the deaf, hard of hearing, disconnected and foster care youth, refugees and immigrants, older adults and those with life limiting or terminal illness.

In some 300 locations throughout NYC and Long Island, FEGS provides an integrated network of comprehensive, diverse and personalized serve that counsel, comfort, educate, rehabilitate and strengthen the Jewish and broader community.
