Disability Services
Disability Services supports many activities at Alexander JFS including Celebration Company and the ReelAbilities Arts and Film Festival.
Celebration Company is a social entrepreneurial program for adults with disabilities that is based on the Jewish principal of "Kol Yisrael arevim zeh leh zeh." We are all responsible for one another. Volunteers with Celebration Company have different opportunities to assist the members or work on specific projects.
There are a number of roles ranging from checking people in to events being a disability companion. ReelAbilities allows volunteers to support the arts for all people.
