Yesodot maximizes potential and builds community foundations ("yesodot") for Jewish children and young adults with disabilities by empowering their families. An innovative family-centered and family-directed support program, Yesodot provides a varied menu of services and programs to families whose loved ones have developmental, physical or learning disabilities, autism, mental illness, or other disabilities. Over 175 families from 35 cities and towns in Greater Boston currently benefit from Yesodot’s services.
Yesodot provides parent and sibling support; family recreational outings; presents educational workshops; disseminates information and develops resources; offers programs for young people transitioning from high school, and runs an assistive technology project. Yesodot participates in public awareness activities and collaborates to foster community inclusion. Yesodot also has a project with Boston’s sister city, Haifa, Israel.
Yesodot welcomes interfaith families at all activities. Yesodot is a service of JVS, a nonsectarian, nonprofit organization and an agency of Combined Jewish Philanthropies.
