What it reported doing in 2024

Other program: 1) lunch, interaction, nurturing, and companionship (linc) - linc is an innovative day program that engages adults suffering from memory loss and dementia through art, music, and recreational activities in an intimate, controlled environment. The program operates three times a week, involving both elders and their caregivers. Far more than a respite care or daycare program, linc provides individualized attention and meets each client where they are, modeling positive interaction for caregivers. Linc stimulates participants and encourages positive self-expression, improving their mood and function throughout the day and the week. Linc is an intimate program by design, serving a roster of 15 to 20 participants at any given time. 2) pregnancy loss support program - plsp utilizes professionally trained volunteers to provide telephone counseling and to facilitate in-person and virtual support groups for parents who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or newborn death. All of our volunteers have experienced a loss themselves, so they can speak from experience to grieving parents, and at the same time continue their own healing process through service to others. Last year the program served more than 200 families. 3) advocacy - ncjw ny pursues vigorous and strategic advocacy to pursue and protect reproductive and economic justice for women. Our pro-truth campaign works to expose and fight the tactics of so-called "crisis pregnancy centers" (fake abortion clinics), ensuring that all women have access to comprehensive and accurate information about their reproductive health and options. Our jews for repro ny initiative works to reclaim the narrative around faith, religion, and abortion. We maintain strong relationships with our state and local elected representatives and invite experts to speak to our community about these issues and others that concern us and our community. On the national level, ncjw, inc.'s Washington, dc headquarters advocates at the federal level and helps coordinate grassroots advocacy nationwide.
