A Letter from Mark and Debbie Emery, Co-Founders of Juvo Jobs

Juvo began with a simple idea: everyone deserves access to opportunity close to home. We saw how difficult it was for hourly workers to find good, nearby jobs and how hard it was for local businesses to keep great people. Coming from years in HR technology, we noticed a clear imbalance. Corporate employees had access to tools and resources to grow their careers, but hourly workers, the ones who make up the backbone of our communities, were left behind.

We created Juvo to change that. The word Juvo means “to help” in Latin, and that is what we have built our mission around: helping people live, work, and grow close to home. What began as an idea focused on connecting people to local work has evolved into a larger effort to strengthen the entire ecosystem around hourly employment.

Today, Juvo helps connect job seekers not only to nearby opportunities but also to training, community resources, and support systems that lead to stability and growth. We are building pathways that allow people to succeed where they are while giving employers better ways to hire, retain, and invest in their teams.

Our work has always been guided by a simple belief that when people have access to opportunity within their own communities, everyone benefits. We are committed to continuing this work with integrity, empathy, and innovation, and to creating lasting value for the people and businesses we serve.

Thank you for believing in this mission with us. We are excited for the future and grateful for everyone who shares in the vision of making work more human, local, and connected.
