MY PASSION FOR J-HAP
by Abby Badzin, J-HAP Board Member &
Co-Founder Dress for Success Twin Cities
It is a very exciting and rewarding time to serve on the Board of Directors of J-HAP! The momentum is strong and the reality of developing J-HAP's unique model of creating a living environment for Jewish young adults with developmental disabilities is drawing near every day! This model, providing residents with social, educational, vocational, recreational and religious opportunities in a safe and nurturing Jewish setting is like no other in the country. With the extraordinary team of talented board members and community professionals working together to create this vision, no longer will parents of children with development disabilities have to worry about who will care for their child when they are no longer able. I am thrilled beyond words to be a part of the excitiement and innovation of J-HAP!
If you are interested in becoming a Board Member or have talents or services to offer J-HAP, please email linda@jewishhousing.org. We would love to have you join our team!
