The ACHaD Program (Achieving Community Hopes and Dreams) 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.
The ACHaD Special Needs Program offers a variety of fun and engaging social and recreational programs and events throughout the year. These programs and events provide an outlet for individuals with special needs to make friends, take pride in themselves, and make a positive impact in our community. Whether you are looking to build your creativity through art or music, a healthier mind and body through fitness and cooking, or a way to stay connected to the community – the JCC offers something for everyone!
