Creating an Exceptional Place of Belonging
The range and depth of the JCC's programming continues to grow, as does our commitment of resources - financial, facility, and emotional - to the community. Early childhood care and education; diversity education; and health and wellness are all in demand, as are the community's requests for delivery and support.
Our early childhood care and education programs are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), an honor bestowed on only 7% of all preschool and child care facilities nationwide. Over 300 children from diverse income and ethnic backgrounds and varied cognitive, physical, medical and social/emotional needs currently learn together at the JCC.
Our diversity education programming is designed to reduce prejudice in central Pennsylvania by helping individuals develop an awareness, understanding and appreciation of human differences.
The goal of our health and wellness programs is to promote wellness within the community. We offer financial assistance to assist members in reaching their wellness objectives.
These programs are the core of the JCC and we need to say "yes" to people in need. We are compelled to continue to address unmet needs by digging much further into our budget since membership fees do not cover the costs to operate these programs. We depend on the generous support of our members and the community to offer these important services. Our fundraising efforts continue year-round.
To find out how you can help ensure the continuation of these worthwhile services within the community, contact JCC Community Development Director, Susan Attig.
WE REMEMBER
The York Jewish Community Center works to combat prejudice and promote mutual understanding and acceptance of diversity in our community. Through our programming, we strive to ensure that we remember the Holocaust and that with these efforts, never again will such a tragedy occur.
The York Jewish Community Center's Holocaust Education Remembrance Fund was created to enable us to continue to use the message of “The Six Million” Holocaust memorial sculpture and our diversity education efforts to remind members of the community what ignorance and hate can do to our world. The goal of this campaign is to raise $75,000 to ensure the JCC can continue and further enhance our efforts in bringing the spirit and message of "The Six Million" to our local community.
Please contact JCC Community Development Director, Susan Attig at the JCC if you are interested in helping the JCC achieve this goal.

LEAVE A LEGACY®
The JCC is proud to be participating in LEAVE A LEGACY® York County, a community-wide collaboration of individuals and organizations committed to increasing the level of planned giving to nonprofit organizations in our community.
Our enrollment with this regional initiative gives us access to comprehensive marketing and educational materials and programs designed to make us a stronger organization today and in the future.
Sponsored locally by the York County Bar Foundation, LEAVE A LEGACY® is endorsed by the National Committee on Planned Giving. Efforts similar to ours are currently underway across the region--including Lancaster and Harrisburg--and across the country.
The JCC is very fortunate to have the support of many talented volunteers who help us fulfill our mission every day. Moving forward, we see the LEAVE A LEGACY® initiative as an important part of our effort to inspire these and other individuals to help provide the financial resources we will need to continue our work for years to come.About the JCC l What's New l Events Calendar l Program Guide
