About Etta Israel Center
Etta Israel Center: Empowering Individuals with Disabilities
Etta Israel Center is a non-profit organization that provides services and support to individuals with disabilities and their families. The organization was founded in 1993 by a group of parents who were seeking better opportunities for their children with special needs. Since then, Etta has grown into one of the leading providers of services for individuals with disabilities in the United States.
The mission of Etta Israel Center is to empower individuals with disabilities to live independent, meaningful lives. The organization achieves this through a wide range of programs and services that are designed to meet the unique needs of each individual.
One of the key programs offered by Etta is its residential program. This program provides housing and support services for adults with developmental disabilities who are unable to live independently. The program offers a variety of living arrangements, including group homes, apartments, and supported living arrangements.
In addition to its residential program, Etta also offers a variety of other programs and services designed to help individuals with disabilities achieve their full potential. These include vocational training programs, educational programs, social skills development programs, recreational activities, and more.
One unique aspect of Etta's approach is its focus on Jewish values and traditions. The organization believes that these values can provide an important framework for helping individuals with disabilities lead fulfilling lives. As such, many of its programs incorporate Jewish teachings into their curriculum.
Etta's commitment to excellence has earned it numerous accolades over the years. In 2019 alone, the organization was recognized as one of Los Angeles' Best Places To Work by the Los Angeles Business Journal; received an award from California State Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel in recognition of its work on behalf of people with developmental disabilities; and was named Nonprofit Organization Of The Year by the San Fernando Valley Business Journal.
At the heart of Etta's success is its dedicated staff members who work tirelessly every day to make a difference in people's lives. From direct care staff members who provide hands-on support to clients every day; to administrative staff members who ensure that operations run smoothly behind-the-scenes; everyone at Etta plays an important role in achieving our mission.
