A LETTER
FROM
OUR
CEO
As a community center, it is our vision to create a safe,
welcoming space and our team has been focused on
making our J feel like home to members and guests. I truly
believe we have the best team any JCC can have. Together
we live up to our service pledge:
We create community based on Jewish Values
by providing the highest quality programs and
services in a safe and secure environment for
ALL people of ALL ages
There is truly something special about this place.
Here is a look at all of the people The Tucson J
serves:
• Over 17,000 people walk through our doors each
week.
• We have over 2,000 membership units and over
500 active Silver Sneakers.
• This J has 290 hardworking employees, which
grows to almost 325 during the summer.
