Our New Signature Project – Unique, Impactful, and in Need of Volunteers!

     NCJW, CS has identified a huge unmet need in our NE Ohio communities and has developed an exciting new Signature Project to uniquely meet those needs. What we have created is a much needed support venue for families who all of a sudden have to face the responsibilities of finding myriad supports for a family member just diagnosed with a disability or special need.

•    MISSION STATEMENT: Our Signature Project is a comprehensive, resource that provides current information to access support services for families of children, adult children and adults with special needs.

•    VISION STATEMENT: To be the most comprehensive gateway of current information for individuals with special needs

•    OVERVIEW: Finding out that a loved one has a disability can be extremely traumatic and overwhelming. Many challenging questions arise: where do I get services, what services are available, who can help me? Trying to find answers to these and many other questions can take days or even months of research resulting in confusion and frustration. Our goal is to be a gateway of information and special needs service providers in Northeast Ohio and present it in an easy to use and simplified format.

  Historically, we have developed 2 editions of an access guide for wheel chair accessibility which many of you will remember because you were the volunteer troops who did the research.(Before ADA became law). This project will need many many volunteers, as well, to collect data from service providers. All volunteers will be trained and all volunteers will make their own time commitments.
I am asking for you to consider being THAT VOLUNTEER and help us launch this significant NCJW, CS project. I would love to talk further with you and hope you will contact me at 216-378-2204 ext 102 or president@ncjwcleveland.org.
