Inclusion Programs

The JCC is an inclusive agency that welcomes people of all abilities.  There are wonderful weekend friendship and enrichment programs for both children and adults with disabilities.  Persons of all abilities may participate in any agency program where a suitable match exists, pending eligibility and the successful procurement of any needed supports.  The JCC remains committed to including all persons as fully as possible in all agency programs.


For any questions regarding our inclusion programs below, or any other areas of inclusion you may have interest in exploring, please contact Jessica Wax, 314-442-3295.
