Welcome to the Teen Engagement Department at Katz JCC

Our commitment to community service is strengthened through our partnership with the Jewish Family and Children’s Services (JFCS). We collaborate on a variety of volunteer opportunities that allow teens to make a real impact:

• • Personalized Fundraisers: Teens can create and lead their own fundraisers to support causes they are passionate about within the community.
  • Food Pantry: Help stock and organize the JFCS Food Pantry, providing essential resources to families in need.
  • Senior Services: Volunteer to assist with programs and services that support our senior community, from companionship visits to helping with errands and special events.
  • Project SARAH: Contribute to this vital program that provides support and resources to those experiencing domestic abuse, playing a role in creating a safe and supportive community.

• Holocaust Survivors: Write letters or make birthday cards for local Holocaust Survivors; share your talent (singing, dancing, poetry recital) at a monthly Cafe Europa program.

• Disability Services: Collect art supplies or run specific errands for individuals with disabilities; join a monthly SOAR (Social Opportunities and Recreation) program to aid socialization for young adults with disabilities. 

Teens interested in these volunteer opportunities can reach out to JFCS by emailing [email protected] or visiting their website.
