Inclusion

Educate. Engage. Train. Support.

At the JCC, we believe every individual has inherent dignity and worth. We are committed to creating a welcoming community where everyone feels valued, respected, supported, and heard.

Our Vision

JCC Inclusion Services recognizes that diverse needs take many forms, including physical, mental, emotional, and social wellbeing. From preschoolers to seniors, we strive to ensure that every member of our community can participate fully and meaningfully.

Guided by Jewish values, we work to build a community where individuals are celebrated for who they are and the unique strengths they bring.

• Derech Eretz — respectful behavior
• Chesed — compassion and kindness
• K’vod Habriot — dignity for all
• Tikkun Olam — repairing the world and strengthening connection

Our Mission

Removing Barriers. Creating Choice.

JCC Inclusion Services educates, engages, trains, and supports individuals with diverse needs and their families throughout our community.

We do this by:

• Educating through parent, youth, and family programs
• Engaging by adapting physical, social, and communication environments so all members can participate fully
• Training through vocational, educational, and social opportunities
• Supporting through mentorship, recreation, advocacy, integration, and community participation

Community Support
