Welcome to the Jewish Coalition Against Domestic Abuse (JCADA), a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing the unique needs of Jewish victims and their families in the Greater Washington Jewish community. Founded in 1999, JCADA has been working tirelessly to empower victims, create safe environments, and educate the community about domestic abuse and appropriate responses to it.

The Greater Washington Jewish community is a vibrant and diverse community, rich in history and culture. With a population of over 300,000, it is one of the largest Jewish communities in the United States. The community is known for its strong sense of unity and commitment to social justice, making it an ideal place for individuals passionate about making a difference.

JCADA's mission is supported by a dedicated advisory board, comprised of professionals from various fields, who provide guidance and support to ensure the organization's success. Together, they have developed a three-pronged approach to address domestic abuse: prevention, education, and support.

Prevention is a key focus for JCADA, as they work to raise awareness and promote healthy relationships within the community. Through community outreach programs, workshops, and events, JCADA aims to empower individuals to recognize the signs of abuse and take action to prevent it. By joining JCADA, staff members have the opportunity to be at the forefront of these prevention efforts, making a lasting impact on the lives of community members.

Education is another crucial aspect of JCADA's work. The organization is committed to educating the Jewish community about domestic abuse, dispelling myths, and providing resources for those in need. Staff members have the opportunity to contribute to the development and implementation of educational programs, workshops, and training sessions, ensuring that the community is equipped with the knowledge and tools to address domestic abuse effectively.

Support is at the heart of JCADA's mission. The organization provides a range of services to victims and their families, including crisis intervention, counseling, legal advocacy, and support groups. By joining JCADA, staff members have the opportunity to directly support and empower survivors, helping them navigate the challenges they face and rebuild their lives. The impact of this support cannot be overstated, as it has the potential to transform lives and break the cycle of abuse.

One of the most remarkable aspects of JCADA is its commitment to inclusivity. The organization is dedicated to providing high-quality services to all residents of the Greater Washington DC Jewish community, as well as the community at large, without regard to ability, background, faith, gender, or sexual orientation. This commitment to inclusivity creates a welcoming and supportive environment for staff members, allowing them to work collaboratively and make a difference in the lives of individuals from diverse backgrounds.
