Our history

Greenleaf Job Training Services was founded in March 1995 by Jennifer Kuntz when she was working as a job coach in the special education department at Worthington City Schools. She helped students obtain employment as part of their curriculum, but realized many struggled to retain their jobs over the summer break.

Trying to bridge the gap, Jennifer spent one summer working as an independent youth job coach for the Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities Agency (OOD). The following year she started Greenleaf. Since then we have helped thousands of job seekers of all ages make progress toward their employment goals while improving diversity among business teams.
