NEXT GENerosity

 

JNext is new generations of members of all faiths coming together to raise funds and awareness for the causes they’re passionate about.

There’s nothing old-school about this group. It’s a way for members 45 and younger to contribute views and energy to the future of our community…while building their own connections through social events, special networking opportunities and family gatherings.

JNext members don’t just help to determine the future direction of the JCC. They also earn benefits, including attractive discounts on family programs, babysitting services and birthday parties. Because let’s face it — your investment in our future deserves our investment in you.
 
Create our future…and yours. Join JNext.
If you are interested in getting involved in JNext, please contact Elana MacGilpin, 860-231-6317, emacgilpin@mandelljcc.org

JNext Impact in Action

JNext has made an important and lasting impact with their JNext gifts.
 
In 2022, The JNext Activity Center was installed in The Family Room which offers unique equipment and teaching tools that promote healthy childhood development. The JNext Activity Center welcomes families into a nurturing environment where they can learn and grow together. 
 
In 2023, JNext supported the purchase of the JCC Aquatics Center Training Pool Platform. The J Swim School is a popular program and with this new platform, swim lessons will be taken to a new level.  The platform was specifically designed for young children and families and is the perfect solution for emerging swimmers.
 
In 2024, JNext helped purchase three new interactive play panels at Jonathan’s Dream Playground on the campus of the Mandell JCC.
