What’s happening now...

The number of organizations seeking to engage young Jewish adults has proliferated in recent years, and these organizations want to welcome and include people with disabilities in their events and activities. To participate, use the registration link which will take you to the organization's website.

AND don't forget to contact TOV to request a Peer. A Peer is a similarly aged community member with inclusion training who is available to attend the event with you and provide whatever level of support is needed. For more information, contact Jodi Newmark, JodiNewmark@juf.org.
