- 9. OUTREACH Expandswhat the JCC can offer to the greater community. Since some of the equipment is actually created to help people with different needs (such as autism, ADD, ADHD, and other physical challenges), and much of it can accommodate people in wheelchairs, we have been inviting special needs groups to use the facility. This has helped us expand our relationships and make new ones with other local non-profits.
