A monthly inclusive playgroup that takes place at the Joy Faith Knapp Children’s Center in the West Rogers Park neighborhood. Children ages 3-12 with disabilities who are a part of the JCFS Respite program are invited, along with their siblings, to join us once a month for recreational activities. This program provides parents a short break from caregiving responsibilities. Volunteers will be asked to help supervise the children and join the children for games, arts and crafts activities, snack time, and more.
More opportunities with Jewish Child & Family Services
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
