Overview
Our Inclusion Department strives to work with community members to build a more accessible & inclusive JCC. Team members are here to support & facilitate participation in programming for members of all ability levels.
We hope to provide a place for community members of all abilities to build lifelong friendships, have new experiences, and be active members in our community. Please reach out with questions regarding accommodations, support needs, and programming!
