CENTER FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Do you want to make a difference in the community? If so, you’ve come to the right place! The opportunities are endless – from volunteering your time, to donating essential items for the most vulnerable, to standing up for those who may not have a voice. However you choose to engage, every act of kindness makes a difference to the people in our community and goes toward the greater good. Join us in our mission toward tikkun olam, repairing the world.

SJJCC’s Center for Community Engagement (CCE) has three pillars:

NIKKI SCHWARTZ MEMORIAL COMMUNITY NEEDS BANK  LINDA & GERALD MARSDEN SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY PILLAR    VOLUNTEERISM

Each pillar addresses social responsibility and social justice issues, uses action to impact our society where needed most, and provides volunteers with meaningful opportunities to give back. We are an educational portal and connection point for those who wish to engage and help individuals and communities in need.
