The Harry & Rose Samson Family JCC Disability Inclusion program is looking for dedicated, compassionate Support Staff to join our team.

As a Support Staff member, your focus is on action and engagement. You aren’t stuck behind a desk planning curriculum; you are on the floor, in the community, and at the heart of the experience.

• Be a Model: Demonstrate positive social interactions and provide behavioral support using established, inclusive strategies.

• Lead the Way: Drive our 14-passenger vehicle to get participants to exciting community outings and volunteer sites. **Program specific
