Volunteer in a Simulated City as Children & Teens Explore the Magic of Everyday Life
Friday, February 7
9:45 am - 12:00 pm (EST)
In honor of Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance & Inclusion Month (JDAIM), spend a morning volunteering at a fully inclusive center with a simulated city where participants build and master life skills.
You can model the role of shopkeeper, banker, supermarket clerk in this simulated village that teaches students with disabilities social skills, money and time management, communication skills, and more.
Participants must be 18 years or older.

Security at Federation Events
The Gloria and Jesse Weissberg Community Security Initiative (CSI) is coordinating all security with local, county, and state law enforcement. At every Federation event, all available resources are utilized to ensure your safety. Important items of note:
- Bag policy: Backpacks, luggage, and large purses are not permitted at events. We encourage you not to bring a bag, if possible, or to bring a very small bag. All bags may be subject to search.
- Additional security measures: Additional security procedures may be implemented (e.g. metal detectors) as needed.
- Social media protocol: We ask you not to share the location of a Federation event prior to or during the event and to refrain from posting about a Federation activity until after it has ended, and the site is clear of attendees.
Building an inclusive community is a priority. Please email [email protected] to let us know if you require an accommodation to meaningfully participate in an event. One of our Federation professionals will reach out to you to learn more.
