Message from our Executive Director

At Kulanu, our mission is captured entirely in our name: “All of Us.” We believe that an inclusive community is a stronger community, and we are dedicated to providing premier educational, social, vocational, and advocacy services for children and adults with disabilities and their families.

Stepping in as Executive Director, I am incredibly inspired by the profound community support and legacy of excellence that define Kulanu. We are here today because of the tireless dedication of our founder, Dr. Beth Raskin. Her decades of visionary leadership transformed an idea into a vital lifeline for countless families, and I am deeply honored to build upon the rock-solid foundation she created.

Looking ahead, we will continue to champion the needs of our participants, strengthen our exceptional programs, and ensure that Kulanu remains at the forefront of special education and adult services.

Whether you are a parent seeking the right environment for your child, a supporter looking to make a difference, or a community member exploring our work for the first time, I invite you to engage with us. Browse our website, reach out to our professional staff, or schedule a visit to see our mission in action.

Thank you for your continued partnership and dedication to our shared mission.

Michael Appelbaum

Executive Director, Kulanu
