Who We are

The Choice Foundation was created to meet the needs of those living with a disability.

Motivated by a desire to create a just and fair community for people with a disability.

Our mission

To have a strong, inclusive community where every member can contribute by ensuring that a person with a disability has the same opportunity to reach their potential as anybody else. We endeavour to do this by welcoming and supporting innovative ideas and programs in the disability space.

Our Believe

People are at their best when contributing to society, and making the choice to strengthen our community is a true expression of our Jewish values.
