About Community Inclusion

Community Inclusion of the Katz JCC provides individuals with special needs, of all ages, a safe and nurturing environment to build social skills, enhance self-esteem and cultivate friendships. Our goal is to enhance the physical, social, and emotional development of participants through supportive programs that facilitate a sense of empowerment and independence. Participants express themselves in creative ways and gain confidence to interact with the community and their peer group while developing a sense of belonging.
