The Jewish Disabilities Network
Our Mission
The Jewish Disabilities Network provides services and coordinates resources to promote full participation of Jewish people with disabilities in the Jewish community and the community at large.
What We Do
The Jewish Disabilities Network (JDN) provides a single point-of-entry to information and referral, case management, advocacy, education, recreation and parent support for Jewish families who have a member with a disability. The JDN promotes Jewish identity and inclusion and is comprised of several Jewish organizations dedicated to addressing the needs of Jewish people with disabilities and their families. The JDN is a collaborative program of Jewish Family Service of Colorado, its SHALOM Denver work center, Allied Jewish Federation of Colorado, Keshet of the Rockies and the Robert E. Loup Jewish Community Center.
