Membership

The JCC of Central NJ is a place to meet up with old friends, connect with new ones, expand your interests and become involved in your community.  Members have first-priority registration and preferred pricing for all programs, classes, events and activities, as well as access to member-only programs such as Camp Yachad, preschool, full-day kindergarten and the Fitness & Wellness Center.

Active members are the foundation of a strong and vibrant JCC.  Gear up for fitness classes, master your skills in an artist's workshop, attend educational and cultural events, improve your swim form, learn to bake challah or take advantage of our other programs!  You can also guide the future of your JCC by volunteering on a committee.  The JCC can truly be your "home away from home."
