It’s about having fun, building friendships…just living your life.

Opportunities for meeting new people, participating in community and cultural events, including religious activities and celebrations, can be challenging when these are not inclusive or welcoming to persons with intellectual/developmental disabilities. JCFS Chicago is committed to opening our communities up, so people of all abilities can enjoy one another and live rich, fulfilling lives.

For more information on eligibility and participation in Community Connections and YadB'Yad, contact Allison Rodenhouse, Director, Family and Community Supports, 773.765.3160.
