The District of Columbia Jewish Community Center(DCJCC), with more than 25 years of proven leadership in providing safe outstanding volunteer service opportunities, and RespectAbilityUSA, a non-profit organization working to empower people with disabilities to achieve the American dream, are thrilled to announce the formation of community service opportunities for Washington area Middle and High School students with disabilities.

The program will be staffed with professionals who are CPR certified and work during the school year in the Montgomery County Public School (MCPS) programs for children with Asperger’s, but will be open to kids/teens with all disabilities. It will also be non-sectarian. Each session will have two teachers/para-educators and a small group of children. There will be breaks and fun time built into the sessions. Students will have the opportunity to earn community service hours in a safe and enriching environment.

We are asking parents of interested students to fill out the survey so that we can pick the service projects that will work best for the applicants. We want to know what you think! Would you please take 5-7 minutes to answer this survey and forward the link to others who might be interested? Thank so much!
