MOSAIC Awards

A Salute to International Americans

The MOSAIC Awards is the signature event benefiting Jewish Family & Career Services. This dinner event recognizes new or first-generation immigrants and refugees who are making a significant contribution in their professions and in our community. Honorees receive the MOSAIC Award, which is an artistic representation of Multicultural Opportunities for Success and Achievement In our Community.

Providing programs and services for International Americans has been a part of the JFCS mission since its founding in 1908. By recognizing outstanding individuals who have succeeded in various fields, JFCS underscores the importance of the contributions that International Americans have made in our community and recognizes and spotlights the crucial role that newcomers play in creating a vibrant community.
