Catholic Charities Disabilities Services

Today is Developmental Disability Professionals Day! We'd like to recognize our incredible team of dedicated professionals at Catholic Charities Disabilities Services and also celebrate their 40th anniversary!

Through their commitment to others, our staff work to help individuals with developmental disabilities build the confidence they need to live their lives as independently as possible within the community of their choice.

We are so proud of them and the work they do each day!

From your CCDS Family🫶💙

Each February, we celebrate the achievements and history of African Americans as part of Black History Month. It's an opportunity to understand Black stories, uplift Black voices and spotlight those who have made a difference in the culture and history. Let us celebrate the history and the stories!
Happy Black History Month!

Our Talent Acquisition Specialist is on the search for more staff to join our CCDS family at the Schenectady County Public Library Job Fair!

We had the privilege to honor and appreciate staff celebrating a milestone anniversary in the year 2023, along with staff who have been with CCDS for over 10 years!! Thank you for everyone’s years of hard work, dedication and support. We truly are grateful for all of you!
Congrats to all the milestone honorees!

December is one of our favorite months here at CCDS! There is always so much to celebrate and so many things to be thankful for. We had our Jingle Jam, holiday parties, decorating contests, holiday cards and the opportunity to make an impact through our Holiday Giving program where we were able to provide gifts for over 100 families in need this holiday season. We couldn't have done it without the support of our employees, donors, friends and families. Thank you for a wonderful holiday season and all the best for the New Year!🥳🤩

HAPPY GIVING TUESDAY!! We are so thankful for everyone who supports our agency! We truly wouldn't be able to make the impact we do without your generosity.

Join us in wishing a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our Executive Director, Paula Jubic!! She is not only a caring, kind and hardworking leader, but she is truly always advocating for those in need of support. We are thankful to work with her!

Today we celebrate the 33rd Anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into law. This marks longstanding efforts for all personhoods to be recognized. We commend all the hard work by people with disabilities, advocates and service providers, who all made the ADA possible. We have come a long way, but real inclusion and diversity for all Americans means that we must continue to strive to make the vision of the ADA a reality.

We are honored to be apart of something bigger than ourselves while changing the lives of others.
