Founded in Watertown, NY in 1954, the Jefferson Rehabilitation Center (JRC) has provided programs and services to thousands of children and adults in Jefferson County who are developmentally and intellectually disabled. Much has changed since the agency was launched in the basement of a church by a group of farsighted parents.
Today, JRC is an independent, not-for-profit corporation employing over 650 staff members and serving more than 1000 individuals and their families each year. JRC provides a wide range of services that are designed to enhance the quality of life and maximize the potential of persons with disabilities through education, vocational opportunities, training, residential services, inclusion, and advocacy in a community-based setting. A dedicated staff of medical, educational and therapeutic professionals, and specially trained direct care personnel provide the necessary support and training to the individuals JRC supports.
All funds raised from the Scarecrow Scuttle will benefit the people with developmental and intellectual disabilities that the Jefferson Rehabilitation Center supports each day. Participation of volunteers, runners, and sponsors will help JRC to continue its mission of enhancing the quality of life and maximizing the potential of people with disabilities. In previous years funds raised at this event assisted with purchasing specialized wheelchair vans, physical therapy equipment, and recreational involvement for the people supported. Funds raised have also been able to assist families in times of emergencies, as well as purchase educational tools which promote independence.

MIKE is a growing nonprofit public health initiative addressing the conditions leading to chronic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, risky lifestyle behaviors and socio-economic factors. MIKE mentors low-income, often racial/ethnic minority youth enrolled in low-resource schools, currently in North Portland, Beaverton and Hillsboro, Oregon. Youth participants are guided through MIKE’s health activities in the health, core or afterschool classes to create a health leadership project promoting healthy behaviors for their peers, families and communities.

Responsibilities as a member include governance, setting strategy and championing fundraising goals to advance the mission of MIKE. Meeting these responsibilities may involve committee work, guiding the organization through fund raising events and/or other campaigns or participating in other volunteer leadership activities.

We are looking for people with connections in their own communities and who are enthusiastic about representing health and education as a priority.
