Yachad. Because Everyone Belongs.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, work, connect, and find their place in Jewish life.

Yachad creates social, vocational, and educational opportunities that enrich the lives of Jewish individuals with disabilities and their families, foster belonging, and deepen their connection to Judaism. From education and employment to friendships, summer experiences, and year-round community programs, Yachad helps make belonging part of everyday life at every stage.

Yachad Chicago brings together individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities from across Chicagoland. From Sunday Funday and City Adventures to Game Night, Social Club, and gatherings at the Yachad Hub, participants have familiar places to go and friends to see. Shabbat Yom, Shabbatonim, and holiday celebrations bring people together around Jewish traditions, while the Ralla Klepak Performing Arts Program offers opportunities for creative expression. Families find connection and support, and advisors, volunteers, and community partners share their talents and build relationships that enrich their own lives, too.

When individuals have opportunities to participate, contribute, and thrive, our entire community is stronger.

Your gift helps Yachad create more opportunities, more connections, and more places to belong.

Give today. Because Everyone Belongs.
