NSSRA program registrations are processed on a first come, first served basis. Some programs have become so popular that they may reach their maximum capacity prior to the registration deadline.
Whether registering online through WebTrac, or dropping the paper registration at the office or in the mail,
all participants must have the current 2018 Annual Information Form (AIF)
on file with the NSSRA office prior to registration. The AIF can be completed
online here
OR
printed and then mailed, emailed or dropped off to the NSSRA office.

"It began two years ago with a study of nearly 100 synagogues. They're working with Ed Frim, a national expert on synagogues and inclusion. He's trying to help the community overcome a tendency to treat people with disabilities as service projects, and he urges rabbis and others to speak openly about how they feel when someone looks different or communicates differently."

Introducing Peter
Peter has been working with NSSRA for two years now and was kind enough to answer some questions for us. Enjoy!
What's your favorite part of summers with NSSRA?
My favorite part of the summer with NSSRA has to be Gator Tennis. I love coaching the sport because I played all throughout high school and believe that my experiences allow me to help our players perform to the best of their abilities. It’s also wonderful to see the strides our players make on a year to year basis.
