Turning a Mission into a Reality
At the J we believe it’s not just what we say – it’s what we do. And, while we provide the entire community with a destination for inclusive wellness, high quality education, and comprehensive social services – what we really do is serve a mission that brings everyone together.
That takes work.
We’re at our best when the community invests not only in its financial resources, but also its time and talents. From serving clients of the Jewish Community Pantry to supporting our legacy leaders in senior adult programs to educating youth through our tutoring services – there is no shortage of opportunities to open your heart and give some of yourself back to the community.
