Inclusion Awareness Month

Act

We encourage you to sign our Inclusion Pledge. It will only take a few seconds, and for each sign-up this month we'll allocate an additional $1 toward inclusion programs in our community (up to $5,000). Take the Pledge.

Volunteer your time with organizations that support people with special needs at our Super Service Sunday.

In honor of Inclusion Awareness Month, our Federation is hosting the Better Together Conference - a one-day event in which we'll explore creative ways to make Jewish life more inclusive for everybody. Join other professional and volunteer leaders of schools, synagogues, camps and youth programs from across Los Angeles in this important endeavor. Make sure someone at your institution attends: Sign Up Today!
