Inclusion opportunities

Creating a More Inclusive Center Since 1984

The St. Paul JCC strives to provide opportunities to people of all ages and abilities for inclusion in all programs.  A primary service goal of the St. Paul JCC is to provide an environment that supports individuals and their families to participate in any and all available programming.

In addition, the St. Paul JCC leads and supports the greater community by providing advocacy for inclusive services, education to other service providers, and training in strategies for inclusion in community settings.
