Special Needs Committee

Our Special Needs Committee meets every six weeks and is comprised of people in the community linked in some way with special needs. Whether it is having a child or family member with a special need, working in the field, or having the passion, the committee is a group of dedicated individuals working together to help the JCCNV develop its programming to meet the needs of the community. We have opportunities in the following areas: programming, outreach, volunteering, marketing, and fundraising.  If you are interested in becoming a member of the committee, please contact Jessica Tischler at JessicaT@jccnv.org
