Join Us to Celebrate Individuals With Differing Abilities

Come together virtually to honor the accomplishments of people with differing abilities and celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). This year's theme for NDEAM, America's Recovery: Powered by Inclusion, reflects the importance of ensuring that people with disabilities have full access to employment and community involvement during the national recovery from COVID-19. Join Federation's Jewish Abilities Alliance, in collaboration with our Tri-County partners, for a virtual ceremony on Wednesday, October 20, 7-8 p.m. to recognize the inspiring personal stories and empowering achievements of individuals within South Florida’s vibrant Jewish community with differing abilities. Hear tales of triumph, learn about the supportive programs available in our area and find out how you can participate in our advocacy work.
