Discover the JCC Difference

Where can you find a preschool and a pottery studio in the same facility? Where can your mother  join a bridge group with other older adults, and your son play in a basketball league with all of his buddies? What if you were able to drop your kids off at day camp, book a massage or personal training session, and then meet your friends for a cup of coffee at the same location? All this and more happens every day at Jewish Community Centers.

"The Asheville JCC has provided so many opportunities to experience and to share the essence of Jewish community."
Penny W., Asheville, NC

"I began to meet wonderful families, and my son and I developed many friendships.  When my mother was ill and dying in Brooklyn, my son and I struggled with traveling back and forth. The people I met at the JCC were so caring and the preschool was so supportive in helping care for my son during this time. The JCC was beginning to take on the role of the family I did not have in Nashville."
Carrie Mills, Nashville TN

"There would be something missing in my life, almost an untapped resource, if it hadn’t been for the JCC. It was there for me, and helped in building my identity and shaping me for the future."
Sean Blum, West Orange, NJ
