The Jewish Community Centers of Greater Boston emphasizes inclusion for people of all ages and abilities, satisfying their need to feel part of the mainstream and serving to educate and raise the awareness of JCC members and staff, participants and the community.

For nearly 50 years the JCCGB and its predecessor organizations have provided quality social, cultural and recreational programs for children, teens and adults who have a wide variety of physical, developmental, neurological, learning, and mental health challenges. Our goal is to enhance the social, emotional, and physical development of participants through supportive programs—from social groups to aquatics to camping and more—that facilitate a sense of empowerment and independence within the JCC and larger community.
