Respect | Collaboration | Integrity | Learning | Creativity

JASA champions the dignity, independence, and vitality of older New Yorkers, providing the support, connection, and care they need to thrive. Our core values - Respect, Collaboration, Integrity, Learning, and Creativity - shape every aspect of our work and reflect our dedication to fostering a community where every individual is valued.

Respect: We foster an inclusive environment where everyone has the opportunity to participate, contribute, and feel a true sense of belonging.

Collaboration: We build partnerships across JASA programs, with other organizations, communities, and the people we serve—because together, we can achieve more than any of us could alone.

Integrity: We operate with honesty, transparency, and accountability, ensuring that every interaction strengthens the trust placed in us.

Learning: We cultivate a spirit of curiosity, growth, and innovation to meet the evolving needs of older adults and help our community grow with us.

Creativity: We approach challenges with imagination, transforming obstacles into opportunities for impact.

At JASA, these values are not just aspirations—they are the principles that guide our actions every day. Whether you are a client, a volunteer, a donor, or a partner, we invite you to join us in building a stronger, more vibrant community for all.
