paula l. Sidman, Chair allan Finkelstein, President & CEO

the JCC Movement has adapted to a new reality, one where organizations can

no longer take for granted that things will stay the same, that associates will

always remain connected, or that distinctions between agencies will forever retain

their clarity. We are entering a time of flux and rapid change when JCCs and

JCC Association must become more flexible and much more responsive. Today’s

environment has caused us to think about different ways of delivering our services so

we can effectively lead the JCC Movement in the 21st century.

Our board task forces have helped us reach these conclusions. Accordingly,

we spent 2010 devising entirely new approaches to wellness (DISCOVER@

JCC), to executive succession and the development of a new generation of lay

leaders, to doing a serious study of the Jewish impact of JCC day camps, and to

reinvigorating the JCC connection to Israel. A primary focus was to open up a real

conversation with our affiliate JCCs about our recommitting to our Jewish mission,

and to encourage them to begin similar conversations with their users about the

type of Jewish lives they want to lead, and how we can make it possible for them

to do so. We tried hard to listen more than to speak, and to understand more than

to prescribe.

This annual report follows that pattern. We consistently looked at things from the

point of view of our affiliated JCCs and asked ourselves what were the challenges

they faced in 2010, and how did we respond. We provided a wealth of meaningful

services to JCCs and their communities, but we know that we must constantly adapt

to the rapidly changing conditions, both Jewish and general, within which JCCs

operate. We want to hear from you through our different communications channels—

our 1000 Conversations blog, Facebook pages, Twitter feed, our new website, our

Listservs—and even old-world technology like the telephone. Make sure to look on

our website at the videos we have prepared to supplement this annual report and let

us know what you think. We always look forward to hearing from you.

Meeting Challenges: annual RepoRt 2010 1

Jewish Community Centers have an exalted mission: they are dedicated to enhancing the well-being of their communities in a multitude of ways.

That means the JCC Movement cares about the spiritual, cultural, physical, psychological, and economic health of the people who come to JCCs to learn, to play, and to grow.

JCCs represent the highest and deepest values of Jewish life—a reverence for education, compassion, and justice—and a uniquely North American expression of Jewish culture.

In welcoming everyone, the JCC is the one place where people of different backgrounds can enjoy the extraordinary richness and variety of Jewish tradition, everything from Maimonides to Shalom Sesame.

At JCC Association, we are always aware of our responsibility to support JCCs as they continue their vital work. The year 2010 was the year we looked for solutions, pragmatic ways we could help JCCs overcome their challenges. From our Biennial Conference in Atlanta, which focused on providing JCCs with the right tools to do their jobs, to the continuing expansion of JCC Excellence: Benchmarking, we dedicated ourselves to serving our constituents and putting their needs first.

The most effective way is to provide staff with many opportunities to deepen their Jewish literacy.

We have devised numerous programs that do just that, for preschool

teachers, for camp counselors and directors, for adult program directors,

even for marketing and administrative staff.

In 2010, we offered webinars and training conferences to 270 JCC

early-childhood teachers and directors so they could become even more

deeply familiar with the classic Jewish wisdom of An Ethical Start®. We

created a beautiful family activity calendar based on the mishnayot

drawn from Pirke Avot, which forms the basis of the program, and sent it

to almost 7,000 families. In addition, our consultants trained more than

2,000 early childhood directors and teachers on the most current and

effective pedagogical practices.

We trained staff from 54 camps to use TAG: Jewish Values through

JCC Camping® and the Goodman Family Foundation: Yisrael Sheli

(My Israel), and we continued the intensive Jewish education of resident

camp directors through our Hemshech and Netivim programs, with

support from The AVI CHAI Foundation. JCCs comprise the largest

network of Jewish camps, serving almost 85,000 children.

We compiled extensive background resources for the staff leaders of

our JCC Maccabi Israel trips, and we sent monthly updates to JCC

executives and marketing directors on the contemporary situation

in Israel—not just the news that’s always in the headlines, but

information about Israeli business, music, movies, holiday

celebrations, food, and everything that makes the Jewish

State such an exciting place.

We shared a weekly electronic d’var Torah from the

Mandel Center for Jewish Education, and we gave

JCC leaders the opportunity to engage in serious

Jewish learning at our Biennial convention and

our board meetings. Although the JCC is open

to all, we worked hard to ensure that all

JCCs have that expressly Jewish feeling.

Challenge: how to grow a vibrant Jewish atmosphere at the JCC?

Our Benchmarking data tells us that JCC users appreciate a rich Jewish ambience and that they are more likely to donate when they feel the JCC is a vibrant Jewish institution.

How can JCCs ensure that they exude that Jewish vibrancy?

Challenge: How to attract, develop, and retain the staff and volunteer leaders of tomorrow?

2Meeting Challenges

Our Benchmarking data clearly shows that a satisfied, motivated JCC staff is associated with greater member retention and more program participation. That means a healthier bottom line for JCCs. We also know that only half of JCC professionals expect to be in their jobs in three years.

What can JCCs do to retain their best staff members and provide them with the development and advancement opportunities that will keep them engaged and productive and serving two million users?

Because human capital is critical to the success of

JCCs, the JCC Association board established the

Future Talent Task Force to learn how to identify

and advance promising staff. In 2010, we awarded

$70,000 in JCC Association graduate scholarship

funding for potential and current JCC professionals

to enhance their expertise, and we launched a social-

media campaign to reach more recipients. The Merrin

Center for teen Services offered its coveted Teen

Professional Fellowship to a new group of 16 JCC

teen workers. These dynamic young professionals

have proven to be candidates for the next generation

of JCC management. To make it easier and more

economical for JCC staff members to continue their

professional learning, our professional leadership

department instituted a series of webinars, which

drew hundreds of participants across North America.

Our research shows that executive directors who

have a clear vision for their JCCs inspire and

motivate their staff. But how can executives develop

the skills to clearly communicate their vision?

Our annual Executive Seminars encouraged 67

executive directors to keep learning and growing,

and we provide first-time executive directors with an

intensive mentoring program to help them succeed.

The Mandel Center for excellence in leadership and

Management offers consultation in strategic thinking

and executive-board development. The 2010 Biennial

convention in Atlanta gave executive directors and

lay leadership the priceless opportunity to learn

together, forming a deeper understanding of their

respective roles and responsibilities. The Esther

Leah Ritz Next Generation JCC Leadership Institute

at the Biennial enrolled 55 emerging JCC leaders in

an intensive training program, which also introduced

them to each other as future JCC leaders.

Today’s JCC staff member requires feedback

and evaluation to remain committed, and we’re

committed to helping JCCs acquire the skills they

need to support their staff.

Challenge: how to re-invent the JCC for a new generation?Today’s younger generation communicates

differently — and has other opinions about

involvement — than their parents did.

Shaped by the digital age they grew

up in, they are accustomed to rapid

change, passionate about social issues,

and skeptical about institutions. Their

engagement in the Jewish community

cannot be taken for granted, nor can

their association with the JCC.

Jewish young adults and

parents with young children

are the future of Jewish

community in north

america. How can JCCs

evolve to connect with

this generation, give

them the services

they want and need,

and inspire them

to map their own

meaningful Jewish

journeys?

3Meeting Challenges

What kind of Jewish lives do people want to live... and how can we make it possible for them do so?With that question, Allan Finkelstein introduced the idea of engaging in “1,000

Jewish conversations,” a continent-wide discussion about major issues that

impact Jewish life, and how the work of JCCs can address those issues. The

conversation generated a number of ideas aimed at removing barriers to Jewish

involvement among today’s young people — and informed much of the work of

JCC Association throughout the year.

We gave the stage to two important young voices at the JCCs of North America

Biennial convention in Atlanta. Sharon Brous, founding rabbi of the innovative

spiritual community IKAR, urged JCCs to raise the bar, not lower it, noting that

the more you challenge this generation, the more they respond. Ariel Beery,

CEO of PresenTense — a group that connects creative young minds with the

resources to make their Jewish social venture ideas a reality — described a

generation reaching out to make a difference, and saw that JCCs could become

ideal platforms to help them realize their potential.

We developed DISCOVER @ the JCC, a campaign of programming and

marketing resources that aim to posit JCCs as the total wellness leaders in

their communities. DISCOVER is piloting now at six JCCs. Its first phase will

focus on providing a holistic wellness model for soon-to-be parents and families

with young children. Today’s young parents often feel disconnected from the

traditional support structures that guided previous generations through the

challenging early years of childrearing, creating a tremendous need for the

JCC to become their go-to spot. DISCOVER will offer them programming in

everything from mommy-and-me yoga to health fairs, from financial planning

for young families to Shalom Sesame™ — and of course, all of it with a strong

foundation in Jewish values.

The tools of 21st century marketing and communications have changed — and are

redefining community for a new generation. To keep JCCs on top of the curve,

we provided training at Biennial, at regional conferences, and via webinars,

on how to evolve the JCC’s marketing strategy from advertising to creating

relationships, using new channels like FaceBook, Twitter, Google searches, and

pay-per-click campaigns.

Real change is impossible without strong and informed leadership. Our task

force on executive succession advised JCCs to prepare now for the approaching

turnover of top staff as the baby boomers near retirement, and prescribed steps

to ensure JCCs find capable new professional leaders. On the lay side, our task

force on engaging a new generation provided a path for JCCs to reach out to

prominent young people in their communities and encourage them to bring their

expertise and viewpoints to the board.

Meeting Challenges: annual RepoRt 2010 9

Challenge: how to put israel at the heart of the JCC... every day?In the ‘60s and ‘70s, nothing unified north

american Jews of all denominations like

support for the young nation of Israel

during its struggle for survival. In recent

decades, as Israel has become more

secure, more prosperous, and more firmly

established, politics have increasingly

chipped away at that unity. today, it is

all too common for Israel to be regarded

as a complicated topic, too political to

be on the agenda outside of yearly Yom

Ha’atzma’ut celebrations.

our connection to Israel is far too

important to be pushed to the sidelines.

eretz Yisrael is the nexus of Jewish

history and tradition, and modern Israel

is the epicenter of Jewish culture and

creativity today. If our JCCs are to be

true and complete Jewish environments,

Israel must be part of the equation. But

how do we foster a meaningful relationship

between JCCs and Israel in a new era?

4Our task force on revitalizing the JCC/Israel

relationship published its report in May, and

called for a new approach, one that encourages

open discussion and constant engagement

with Israel. We began a year-long pilot program

with seven JCCs to help them be exemplars in

implementing the task force recommendations,

and provide opportunities for informal Israel

education and open forums for discussions.

Our new Young Shlichim program paired JCCs

with young, idealistic, and dedicated Israelis who

in sharing Israeli cultural life with North American

Jews, have touched their communities with

programs that entertain, educate, and inspire.

Working with the Jewish Agency for Israel, we

are able to bring these emissaries to JCCs at a

reduced cost, and help turn the JCC into the town

hall of the Jewish community.

Our Mandel Center for Jewish education

published the third curriculum of its Israel

education program for JCC resident camps,

Yisrael Sheli: My Israel. The goal of this program,

generously funded by the Goodman Family

Foundation, is to impart a clear picture and love

of Israel to teens, and to inform them with facts

before they enter a university environment all too

likely to confront them with anti-Israel sentiment.

We literally connected teens with Israel over the

summer, taking groups from several JCC camps

on a five-week exploration of the Jewish homeland

with our JCC Maccabi Israel program. And we laid

the groundwork for our biggest teen experience in

Israel yet, working with our partner, Maccabi World

Union, to bring our most popular Jewish-identity

building programs — JCC Maccabi Games® and JCC

Maccabi ArtsFest® — to Israel for the first time, in

the summer of 2011. Nearly 1,000 teen athletes

and artists are expected to participate.

Our office in Israel sends regular bulletins to JCC

leaders to keep them aware of current issues,

and provides JCCs with a monthly compendium

of information about Israeli movies, music, books,

holiday celebrations, and food. We are doing

everything we can to keep Israel on the mind of the

JCC Movement, and in its heart.

Mandel Center for Jewish education: taG: Jewish Values through JCC Camping®

We added five new units, including one on sportsmanship, to our wealth of material in TAG: Jewish Values through JCC Camping®, a program that gives JCC resident and day camps serving 85,000 campers a way to incorporate Jewish enrichment into the camp day. An acronym of Torah, Avodah, and Gemilut Chassidim, TAG offers camp directors more than forty units that address the weekly Torah portion, Israel, and daily life as seen through Jewish values.

The four-time gold medal winner Lenny Krayzelburg business model provides JCCs with an expanded revenue stream as well as way to connect with young families who want their children to be safe around the water.

Meeting Challenges: annual RepoRt 2010 11

an ethical Start® calendarWe produced a family-activity calendar through An Ethical Start, our early-childhood-education values curriculum, which suggested games, projects, and conversation starters, all based on mishnayot drawn from Pirke Avot, the classic Jewish text. The calendar was another way to engage young families with children in JCC preschools and to expand their connection to Jewish life.

JCC Maccabi Israel teen tripsJCC Maccabi Israel trips were a great success for JCC camps from Miami, Milwaukee, Chicago, and Pittsburgh. Traveling together with their camp friends through the Jewish State cemented the bond these teens felt for each other and for their JCC camp. And the camp benefited from a more cohesive group of young counselors.

JCC Maccabi Games and artsFest together!Our first ever combination JCC Maccabi Games/JCC Maccabi ArtsFest was a great success in Baltimore, and the Games in Denver, Omaha, and Richmond, and ArtsFest in San Rafael, California, drew thousands of teens to participate in what has become the largest gathering of Jewish young people. Besides participating in sports and arts workshops, the teens spend time in community service and just having fun together. The JCC Maccabi Games and ArtsFest are one of the most popular Jewish teen programs ever.

Meeting Challenges: annual RepoRt 2010 13

Days of Caring and Sharing Teens attending the JCC Maccabi Games in Baltimore, Omaha, Richmond, and Denver, and JCC Maccabi ArtsFest in San Rafael, California, spent part of their time serving their communities. Some of the athletes worked with the Special Olympics, while others coordinated sports activities for kids from the local YMCA and Boys and Girls Club. All the Days of Caring and Sharing projects allowed the teens to perform the mitzvah of helping others.

Merrin teen Fellows The Merrin Center for Teen Services selected 16 professionals working with teens to participate in the sixth cohort of the acclaimed Merrin Teen Professional Fellows Program. The program, which started in 1999 with the support of Seth Merrin and Anne Heyman, will feature five seminars held over 16 months. Participants focus on developing their leadership skills, learning how to serve teens more effectively, planning their career paths in the JCC Movement, and deepening their sense of Jewish identity.

JCC GrowsAffiliated with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s People’s Garden Initiative, our program for social-justice gardens at JCCs continued to resonate with many, and more JCCs told us about their gardening and other food-related projects. Many JCCs now sponsor CSAs (community supported agriculture) and farmer’s markets. Some participated in the fresh-food collections we encouraged around the High Holidays, which were donated to local food pantries. Growing and eating wholesome food in a sustainable way is an essential part of our new wellness initiative, DISCOVER @ the JCC.

JCCs of north america BiennialOver 600 people from JCCs all over the U.S. and Canada gathered in Atlanta for our Biennial convention to learn, network, and be inspired to make their JCCs the hubs of their communities. Great speakers, 60 dynamic workshops, and lots of time to share experiences gave JCC leaders the tools they need to turn their JCCs into smooth-running operations. And a host community barbecue gave everyone a chance to visit the magnificent Marcus JCC.

Benchmarking expands to 48 JCCsOne of our most popular programs ever, JCC Benchmarking continued to add invaluable data from even more JCCs to build a multi-leveled profile of what excellence means in the JCC Movement. Participating JCCs were able to judge their effectiveness in different areas against other JCCs of their size and against themselves over time. Real information enabled JCCs to make informed decisions and achieve measurable results.

training HighlightsWe recognized the need for JCC professionals to maintain and enhance their skill sets despite the economic hardships brought on by the recession, so we designed a variety of long-distance learning opportunities. The result was that hundreds of JCC staff members took advantage of the chance to learn. We ran webinars on time management, supervision, programming, early childhood education, and many other topics.

Mandel Center for excellence in leadership and Management retools for Better ServiceReorganization has made the Mandel Center for Excellence even more effective in providing consulting services to JCCs. We added strategic thinking consultations to our mix of marketing, fundraising, governance, and professional leadership services to offer JCCs a more complete portfolio. We introduced a client-contact tracking system to help ensure that JCCs were receiving the individual attention they need and deserve. We made 222 visits to affiliated JCCs.

Michele obama’s let’s Move InitiativeFirst Lady Michele Obama invited us as the sole Jewish organization to participate in a White House meeting of community faith-based groups committed to combating childhood obesity. Her Let’s Move Initiative wants to reduce this health risk in one generation, and we support that effort all the way. Our VP of program services and the Mandel Center of Jewish Education Patricia Cipora Harte (standing, third from left) proudly represented JCC Association and committed us to expand JCC Grows to one-third of JCCs in the next five years.

Israel Shlichim at JCCs and JCC CampsOnce again, we interviewed, vetted, and trained over 400 young Israeli shlichim to work at JCC camps and JCCs. Through their presence, these energetic young Israelis introduced JCC campers to contemporary Israel, a country that is as diverse, as dynamic, and as fast-paced as the U.S. and Canada. At a time when the ties of North American youth to Israel are slackening, bringing shlichim to JCCs is more important than ever. torahs for our troops

JWB Jewish Chaplains Council has undertaken to commission small, lightweight Torah scrolls for military chaplains to carry easily in the battle theater and on ships. A Torah scroll, no matter the size, presents a major fundraising challenge, but we have been gratified by an overwhelming community response. The first Torah was completed and dedicated in May at the U.S. Capitol, and is already in use. After only six months of fundraising, several more scrolls have been completed, much to the delight of military chaplains on active duty.

JWB Jewish Chaplains CouncilSince 1917, JWB Jewish Chaplains Council has served the religious, educational and morale needs of Jewish personnel in the U.S. Armed Forces. We maintain an unwavering commitment to these dedicated men and women. We provide what they need to observe Shabbat and holidays; our chaplains and trained lay leaders offer comfort, counsel and assistance to resist the overwhelmingly Christian culture in the military; in short, we strive to keep them connected to Judaism and the Jewish community throughout their military service.

During the past year, JWB had more than 300 points of contact per month requesting help, guidance, materials, counseling and intervention. Of these, approximately two-thirds come from chaplains and lay leaders, one-sixth from active and reserve military members, and one-sixth from families of Jewish military personnel.

JWB recruits potential chaplains from the major rabbinical training institutions in the United States; provides special training and counseling for them, and recruits and trains lay leaders to serve where no Jewish chaplains are available. Working through its network of chaplains and lay leaders, it provides kosher foods and ritual necessities to Jews serving across the world; it offers support and counsel to the families of active-duty Jewish military personnel, and ensures that Jews killed in action receive appropriate ritual services. In 2010, we sent hundreds of holiday packages to troops overseas to enable them to observe the High Holy Days, Hanukkah, Purim, Pesach and Shavuot.

No annual report would be complete without a resounding “thank you” to the generous donors – both individuals and foundations – who share our commitment to Jewish Community Centers. They understand the importance of our programs and services, which help JCCs serve their local communities with excellence. They share our passionate dedication to meeting the religious and morale needs of Jewish military personnel through our JWB Jewish Chaplains Council. More than 2,100 generous donors supported both the JCC Association annual fund and JWB operating funds in 2010. Thank you to all. We especially thank the Crown Family for its generous support of JWB operations.

We could not possibly meet the challenges outlined in this report without significant assistance from visionary foundations. Programs developed through the Mandel Supporting Foundation’s ongoing support of the Mandel Center for Jewish education enables us to enhance a vibrant Jewish atmosphere at JCCs and JCC camps. the aVI CHaI Foundation continues to be a source of sustenance and encouragement as our programs deepen Jewish life at JCC camps, and the Goodman Family Foundation helped us meet the challenge of strengthening the Jewish identities and connections to Israel of thousands of youngsters and teens. A grant from the Harold Grinspoon Foundation helped us undertake the first comprehensive study of JCC day camps, which is leading to new and important developments in Jewish training and programming. The Soref-Breslauer texas Foundation,

Feldman Family Supporting Foundation, redwoods Group Foundation, the Segal Family and Corporate Sponsor Coca-Cola na support our best-known teen Jewish identity-building programs, the JCC Maccabi Games® and JCC Maccabi ArtsFest®.

The Mandel Center for excellence in leadership and Management, also supported by the Mandel Supporting Foundations, is meeting the challenge of attracting, developing and retaining the staff and volunteer leaders of tomorrow, within its larger mission of constantly helping JCCs improve their operations and business practices.

The work of our early childhood services department, and its values-education curriculum An Ethical Start®, was strengthened by a continuing grant from the Brill Family Foundation. With support from the foundation, our department of early childhood services is bringing extraordinary programming and training to JCC preschools and to families with young children.

Generous grants from Jerri-ann and Gary Jacobs, paula l. Sidman, and Mandel Supporting Foundations allowed us to undertake special projects, enhancing our operations and the services we provide to JCCs.

We offer special thanks to all of our donors, whose vision and commitment to the work we do truly helps us meet the challenges facing the Jewish community, and allows JCC Association to continue to effectively lead the JCC Movement in North America.

The National Federation/Agency Alliance is a partnership that provides a significant amount of funding to nine national agencies including $1,226,500 to JCC Association of North America in FY 2010/2011. The national agencies that make up the Alliance engage in critical work to build

capacity and support the work of the federations and their local affiliates. They also help advance the federation system’s goals on a national and international stage. While mindful of its role in evaluating and monitoring the national agencies, the Alliance works to promote deeper relationships and create synergy between the national agencies and the federations.
