How can you support the JCC Rockland?
The JCC Rockland relies on the generosity of community members, special friends, area businesses, and government foundations to support our community-based program and service offerings that reach thousands of children, teens and adults each year.  

The JCC Rockland hopes that all members of the community have access to our many programs and services. There are many ways you can help. We invite you to become a vital part of our vibrant JCC family through your participation in any or all of our funding endeavors by providing financial support to those in need.  

The JCC Rockland has several scholarship funds established to support general and specific programming:

JCC Rockland Program Scholarship Fund
Contributions make it possible for deserving families and children in financial need to participate in the many programs and services offered by JCC Rockland, such as:

• Parenting
• Children & Family
• Fitness
• Teens/Tweens
• Sports
• Adults/Seniors
• Special Needs

 
Eugene Levy Camp Scholarship Fund
Established as a living memorial to the late New York State Senator Eugene Levy, recognizing his love for children and the JCC. Through this fund, Rockland families of all affiliations and ethnic backgrounds in need of financial aid are offered financial assistance, enabling their children to attend our day camp programs.  

Jason Green Maccabi Scholarship Fund
The JCC Rockland established this fund in memory of Peggy and Peter Green’s beloved son.  The funds collected for this scholarship makes it possible for deserving Rockland teenage athletes with financial need to participate in the JCC Maccabi Games.  

JCC Rockland Maccabi Program
The JCC Maccabi Games can be called the Olympics for Jewish teens, but they serve a larger purpose than athletic competition.  The JCC Maccabi Games promote community involvement, teamwork, and pride in being Jewish. The energy and excitement make it a unique and unforgettable experience for every participant. The funds collected helps deserving Rockland teenage athletes to participate in the JCC Maccabi Games.

Rockland Maccabi 2012
Help bring the JCC Maccabi Games to Rockland in 2012.

JCC Rockland Teen Mitzvah Makers
The JCC Rockland strives to instill a strong sense of Jewish identity in the next generation of American Jews…our teens! It’s our goal to empower, inspire and motivate our youth about tikkun olam (healing the world). It’s our mission to educate teens about social change and the benefits of community service.  

Contributions to JCC Mitzvah Makers help support:

• Mitzvah Maker Holiday baskets, where thousands of treat baskets are delivered to Rockland’s homebound and infirmed.

• EuoCafé, where Holocaust survivors share their experiences with teens.

• JakeTalks.org, an internet talk show run by teens.

• Mitzvah Day, an annual day of service for Rockland’s Jewish youth in conjunction with Jewish youth globally with J-Serve.
