The Bender JCC was founded on the belief that communities benefit when all people of all ability levels learn, grow, and celebrate together.
Inclusion of those with disabilities has always been at the forefront of our mission and has made us an area leader in comprehensive special needs inclusion, from our programming to our facilities.
Adult residents of area group homes can benefit from a discounted fitness membership to enjoy the Bender JCC’s Weinberg Health & Fitness Center. Membership includes admission for aides accompanying adults with special needs.
Created for children, teens and adults with orthopedic-related disabilities, this swim program partners professional staff members (a coordinator, physical therapist, and adaptive water instructors) and volunteers with participants to teach the basics of swimming and help students feel comfortable in the water.
