2018-2019

This year,

we expanded in so many ways – our physical footprint grew to a third campus with the addition of the SJJCC Annex; our reach into the community deepened through the establishment of the SJJCC Food Bank and A.C.T for Recovery Program, our special needs department strengthened with the reorganization of Kehilla and year-round programming; and we partnered with UJA-Federation of New York for the second Witness Project.

We also successfully launched a new mobile-friendly website; membership numbers hit an all-time high and that momentum continued through the record-breaking raising of funds at our annual special events. In addition, security measures were increased to ensure all who enter SJJCC feel safe and comfortable.

Last but not least, we have raised $7.5MM toward our Capital Campaign goal of $12MM to enhance both the JCC and the lives of our members. The renovations, which already include a new Aquatics Center and the SJJCC Annex, will also enhance Camp Jacobson, and update our main facility to include new spaces such as a teaching kitchen and an additional Early Childhood classroom, and renew our lobby to reflect the warmth of our community.

The JCC has seen tremendous growth this year, and we are proud to say that this is just the beginning.

PEOPLE ATTENDED

WITNESS PROJECT

2018-19 focused on expanding the reach of the Buslik/Levy Teen Services Center by strengthening relationships with local synagogues including Temple Sinai, local school districts, and with UJAFederation of New York through our participation in Witness Project, a year-long collaboration between 37 high school students and 11 Holocaust survivors who together bring to life the survivors’ stories through a moving multimedia performance and arts exhibit.

J(OUR)NEY

What started as a vision over 25 years ago, Camp Kehilla began with a single focus: providing campers with special needs the neurotypical summer experience of a lifetime. Continuing to expand on its mission of building independence, Kehilla has since grown, allowing participants to continue to build social interactions, physical aptitude, and personal relationships through innovative year-round programming including overnight adventures, nighttime social and cooking clubs, and vacation programs.

The new home to most of our social service programs,

SJJCC ANNEX

at 200 Forest Drive, serves as a hub for community outreach; including some of our newest initiatives such as A.C.T for Recovery for those with addiction, and the SJJCC Food Bank, operating as a collection and distribution center serving Nassau County pantries and local colleges, managed by our VTEC interns with special needs and community volunteers. The Annex is also home to Accounting, HR, and Marketing teams, alleviating congestion in the main parking and creating open space for a reimagined SJJCC with construction expected to start in 2020.
