Social & Recreational Programs
The ACHaD Special Needs Program offers a variety of fun and engaging social and recreational programs throughout the year. These programs 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!
The JCC welcomes families of all faiths, cultures and abilities to be a part of our vibrant community, and we encourage all to participate in our social and recreational programs.
We have virtual and in-person programming options to keep participants engaged all year long.
