Dear Friend,

As we navigated another year of the pandemic, we continued

to grow and change as an agency to meet the needs of our

community.

One of our biggest areas of growth was in our social services

offerings. This year, we consolidated all of our social services pro-

grams under the umbrella of JCC Connections, helping anyone

in need access crucial services. We know that people looking for

help often need more than one service and don’t know how to

access it easily. Our one-stop-shop method helps link people to

community resources, benefits, legal and financial counseling,

our Kosher Food Pantry, and so much more.

Our newest department within JCC Connections is Career

Connections, which launched in the fall. The goal of Career Con-

nections is to look at the career seeker as a whole person. The

program allows those looking for career assistance to access the

training they need to take their career to the next level, while also

helping them overcome any barriers they may have to finding

success in their careers. Whether that’s learning soft skills or

finding health insurance, our holistic approach helps meet a wide variety of needs.

As you read through this report, you’ll learn more about these new programs,

as well as the other work we’re doing to have a positive effect in our community.

You’ll also see the impact of our donors, who have stuck with us through these

turbulent times. Thanks to their generosity, the JCC will continue to serve the

community for many years to come.

The JCC has been an important part of Staten Island for over 90 years, and we

will continue to be there for our community going forward. Together, our agency

will grow to be stronger into the future.

Sincerely,

Susan Sappin Orit LenderBoard President Chief Executive Officer

• JCC Day Camp – Our traditional day

camp gives children the opportunity

to connect with nature in a fun, social

environment. Camp includes swimming,

sports, arts and crafts, music, trips, and

more—all with an emphasis on universal

values like kindness, respect, and

inclusivity. Camp is open to all children,

including campers with special needs.

• Specialty Camps – This past summer, we

offered basketball, aquatics, gymnastics,

and soccer camps for young athletes. This

year, we also ran a specialty camp which

focused on performing arts in conjunction

with IlluminArt Productions.

• Marvin’s Camp for Children with Special Needs – We believe that everyone

should have the opportunity to create great

summer camp memories. Our Marvin’s

Camp for Children with Special Needs

and inclusion program are committed to

providing an educational, creative, social,

and safe environment for kids and teens

with special needs.

• Community-Based Camps – We offer

free camp programs at our Cornerstone,

Beacon, and COMPASS sites. These

programs continue the work we do at

these sites throughout the year, teaching

leadership skills and encouraging

academic success. Community-based

camps are funded by the NYC Department

of Youth and Community Development.

• Summer Rising – This new free

program provides academic support

and enrichment activities to children at

risk of falling behind in school due to the

pandemic. We served over 1,400 children

at nine sites, including P.S. 54 and P.S. 74.

The program is run through a partnership

with the Department of Education and

the Department of Youth & Community

Development.

• Year-round Camp Activities – Camp fun

doesn’t end in the summer! Our year-round

programs allow camp-like activities to

continue throughout the school year.

CampingFun is our tradition! For nearly 90 years, the JCC has been a leader in camping on Staten Island. We offer camps for children of all ages, interests, and abilities.

Sunrise Day CampSunrise Day Camp is the world’s first full

summer day camp for children with cancer

and their siblings, provided completely free of

charge. The Lucille & Jay Chazanoff Sunrise

Day Camp-Staten Island, operated by the JCC

of Staten Island, is the only day camp of its

kind in New York City. The camp serves over

140 children ages 3-16 from Staten Island,

Brooklyn, Manhattan, and nearby New Jersey.

Activities include sports, music, arts & crafts,

swimming, and other games.

This past summer, the camp reopened at

its new home on the grounds of Staten Island

Academy. Staten Island Academy boasts a

12-acre campus, offering ample space for

Sunrise campers to take part in activities

both indoors and outdoors. In addition to

previous summers’ activities, campers now

have access to two swimming pools and larger

field space. To ensure the health and safety of

all its campers, Sunrise has exclusive use of

their own program areas separate from Staten

Island Academy’s summer programs.

Sunrise operates with enhanced safety

protocols in place to minimize the potential of

any COVID-19 transmission at camp. A virtual

camp option is also available for those families

who may prefer or need distance-camping.

Recognizing the extraordinary financial

demands that a child’s chronic illness can

have on a family, Sunrise Day Camp and its

year-round and in-hospital programs, Sunrise

Sundays and Sunrise on Wheels, are provided

completely free of charge to campers’ families.

Sunrise Day Camp-Staten Island serves

children with cancer and their siblings a non-

sectarian basis. We are a proud member of the

Sunrise Association, whose mission is to bring

back the joys of childhood to children with

cancer and their siblings worldwide.

“It’s been a rough time for our family with the pandemic and my son’s cancer diagnosis. When an opportunity to go to Sunrise came along, it was a huge blessing for us. Finally, my son could be social with kids his own age, and his sister could join him.The kids loved every minute of it.”—Daniel, parent of a Sunrise camper

Serving Individuals with DisabilitiesTaking good care of our community members with disabilities is a priority at the

JCC. At the JCC, we believe that providing services to people with disabilities is

a core component to everything we do, and we have a long history of creating

programs to support their needs. Throughout our programs, the JCC offers

inclusion opportunities wherever possible for individuals with disabilities so they

can engage with their peers. We support the families of these individuals, too.

We are not alone in this endeavor—over 20 community partners offer their

support for our work, including UJA-Federation of New York, Butler Foundation,

the Staten Island Borough President’s office, NYC Council Members, and OPWDD

(Office for People with Developmental Disabilities). The JCC is proud to be a place

where people of all abilities can feel safe and included, and most importantly,

where they can learn and have fun.

• First Foot Forward – A preschool, supported by the NYC Dept. of Education

and Dept. of Health and Mental Hygiene, with speech, occupational, and

physical therapy services available. We operate First Foot Forward at three

different sites.

• Marvin’s Camp for Children with Special Needs – A summer program for

children and teens, with a small camper to counselor ratio, offering swimming,

sports, arts and crafts, special event days, and trips.

• Self Direction – Individuals with disabilities choose the mix of supports and

services that work best for themselves, such as JCC Membership, after school

programs, and summer camp.

• Inclusion Program – We offer inclusion opportunities in many of our

traditional programs, including sports, camp, and after school programs, so

that children and young adults with disabilities are able to take part in a wide

array of activities.

• After School Programs – Our after school program for children and teens

with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorders) and related disabilities presents

an opportunity for them to socialize and engage with peers in an inclusive

environment. We also offer an inclusion program for our Explorers After

School Program.

• Day Habilitation Without Walls Program for Young Adults – This year-

round program offers social, recreational, and vocational activities at the

JCC as well as in collaboration with our partner organizations. Young adults

take part in activities such as delivering meals to the homebound, stocking

our food pantry, and gardening. We also take trips to various museums and

other cultural organizations. Our program maintains a strong emphasis

on community inclusion. We engage our participants in opportunities to

be healthy, social, and active members of the community with a maximum

degree of independence. Our ultimate goal for our participants is to establish

the groundwork for optimal success in achieving their highest potential

as they transition into adulthood. This year, we saw our Day Habilitation

program grow exponentially.

• Scouting – Our Girl Scout access troop serves children and young adults

with disabilities and their typical peers. This year, our Girl Scouts sold over

1,000 boxes of cookies to support the troop!

Arts & Culture

Dr. Esther Grushkin virtual programming, which includes performances, lectures, tours, a book club,

trips, and more!

• Lectures – Virtual and in-person lecture topics included the Bible, film, music,

art, theater, the Holocaust, and more. We were also joined by Rabbis and

Rebbetzins for a series of lectures focusing on Jewish topics. Some of our most

popular virtual programs have included several lecture series with British film

scholar Dr. Julia Wagner and tours of museums around the world led by an

experienced tour guide. We also offered programs that explored the topics of

feminism, Jews of Color, and inter-cultural traditions.

• Trips – After nearly two years, we were finally able to resume trips. We were

very excited to head back to Broadway shows in the late winter and spring.

• Concerts & Performances – We were thrilled to welcome people back in

person to celebrate Jewish Music Month with a performance by the Richmond

County Orchestra. We also hosted the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene for

a performance regarding the shared experiences of the African American and

Jewish communities.

• Israeli programs — The goal of our Israeli programs is to create a community

culture that acknowledges and embraces the understanding that Israel is a

complex country with a dynamic culture. Programming aims to foster dialogue

that promotes greater personal connections to Israel. With these personal

connections comes a greater appreciation of the nation’s complexities and a

deeper interest in the country’s history and people. Programs include lectures

from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, an Israeli Film Festival, and weeklong

celebration of Yom Ha’Atzmaut (Israel Independence Day).

• Dorothy Delson Kuhn Music Institute – Our music school has been

training musicians of all ages and sharing the love of music with Staten

Islanders for over fifty years. We also offer music experiences, led by a

licensed music therapist, for participants with disabilities.

• Art @ the J – Our Murray Berman Art @ the J Gallery features an eclectic

mix of works by local artists.

Launch of Dr. Esther Grushkin Center for Arts + CultureThis year, we launched the Dr. Esther Grushkin Center for Arts + Culture. Dr.

Grushkin was a brilliant woman, a Jewish educator extraordinaire who dedicated

much of her career helping to bring adult Jewish learning and culture to the

Jewish community of Staten Island and beyond. With a passion and depth of

knowledge only matched by her ability to engage her students through

enthusiasm and humor, Dr. Grushkin generated a loyal following among youth

and adults alike as she shared her love for philosophy, the Bible, archaeology,

history, literature, art, music, drama, politics, and journalism.

Inspired by its namesake’s dedication and lifelong love of learning, the center

presents lectures, performances, and seminars led by world-class speakers and

entertainers across a variety of subject areas.

JCC board member and cultural arts committee member Jerome Grushkin

created the center in honor of his late wife. He said, “Esther dedicated her adult life

to education and was an extraordinary teacher and scholar. The Dr. Esther Grushkin

Center for Arts + Culture is dedicated to Esther’s memory to continue and expand

access to exceptional quality programming in adult Jewish learning, performing arts,

and global connections as well as connect with our participants in all ways possible.”

Since its launch in September, the center has already begun producing

engaging cultural programs for participants in Staten Island and beyond. We are

proud to honor Dr. Grushkin’s legacy with this new center that will enrich so many

people’s lives for generations to come.

The Dr. Esther Grushkin Center for Arts + Culture offers a mix of in-person and

services professional to serve as the on-site staff coordinator for social

services exclusively for residents of Seaview Senior Housing, connecting

them to services throughout Staten Island.

counseling and support groups. Through a partnership with Weill Cornell,

we present TRIO for Successful Aging, where mental health and medical

expertise come together in an integrated program to provide social and

aging support services.

health and prevent diseases among older adults. The JCC offers several

classes to help improve balance, prevent falls, reduce arthritis pain, and

assist individuals with dementia and their loved ones.

and mental challenges produced in collaboration with other local non-profit

organizations. This year, we brought the event back in person!

Senior ServicesAs the “baby boomer” generation ages, the number of Staten Island older adults

continues to grow. The JCC is helping adults enter this new phase of life with

programs and services geared toward keeping them happy, healthy, and engaged.

We are happy to provide our services both in-person and virtually, so we can best

serve all those in need.

programming across Staten Island.

Shore and at our Avis Building on the South Shore, these centers offer a wide

health screenings, arts and crafts, nutritious meals, and assistance with

social services.

• NORC GO KOSSAH – The JCC operates Staten Island’s first NORC

(Naturally Occurring Retirement Community) in Stapleton. Stapleton qualifies

as a NORC because it has a large proportion of residents over 60, but was

not specifically planned or designed to meet the needs of seniors living

independently in their homes. The NORC, named GO KOSSAH (Keeping Our

Seniors Safe And Healthy), provides services that complement those offered at

the JCC’s Stapleton Neighborhood Senior Center.

Family Solutions to Memory Loss

Health & WellnessThe pandemic completely changed the way we look at health and wellness. It also

underscored the need for an emphasis on mental wellness. The JCC has worked

hard to adapt and create a safe environment that focuses on helping people regain

a sense of wellness.

• Fitness – As part of our membership, participants get access to our 5,000

square feet of equipment and training areas. We also offer our members group

exercise classes, including yoga, zumba, pilates, crossfit, and kickboxing. In

response to the pandemic, we also launched outdoor fitness classes, including

hikes.

Staten Island. We offer private lessons, recreational swim time, and competitive

youth swim teams. In the summer, we also have our Summer Swim Club at our

in the areas of soccer, basketball, aquatics, and tennis. We also offer soccer,

aquatics, and basketball camps in the summer. This year, we began offering a

• Nutrition and lifestyle choices – As we age, health becomes even more

important. We offer fitness classes tailored to seniors to keep them active and

strong. This year, we hosted virtual seminars in conjunction with doctors from

Richmond University Medical Center on a variety of health-related topics.

• Physical Therapy – We were excited to welcome Staten Island Physical

Therapy to our Wellness Center in the Bernikow Building.

In the next ten years, it is projected that one in five Americans will either

have Alzheimer’s Disease or will provide care for a family member with this

disease. Our Family Solutions to Memory Loss Programming helps those

with cognitive issues, as well as their caregivers. Our specialized programs

for those with memory loss include memory stimulation activities,

exercise, creative art and music classes, gardening, and support groups.

Rosemary’s Place, the first program of its kind on Staten Island,

opened in 2018 to serve individuals recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s

Disease and related dementias. Rosemary’s Place is funded by the

Richmond County Savings Foundation in honor of Rosemary Manzulli.

My Place serves individuals with mild or mid-stage Alzheimer’s

Disease and related dementias.

Who cares for the caregiver? We do. At our Caregiver Support Center,

we offer support groups, referrals to community resources, and assistance

coordinating care. We also run joint programming for caregivers and their

loved ones.

Family Solutions to Memory Loss is funded in part by grants from New

York State Department of Health and New York City Dept. for the Aging.

Special thanks to Michael Manzulli.

Social ServicesAs a result of the pandemic and the crisis in Ukraine, so many people in our

community are still hurting. Now more than ever, the social services that the

JCC provides are crucial to helping people overcome adversity. We saw the

needs for our social services grow immensely over the past year. By partnering

with other agencies, we provide a lifeline of support, guiding people toward the

services they need and walking with them every step of the way.

In the fall, we launched JCC Career Connections, which offers strategies to improve

an individual’s potential in the workplace and help their career trajectory. JCC Career

Connections takes a “people-first” approach to career development, providing both

short-term and long-term results for individuals. Through workforce development, we

also hope to have a positive impact on our local business community.

JCC Career Connections offers comprehensive assessments that helps

guide individuals to the appropriate trainings, workshops, job fairs, mentorships,

and internships. By working in conjunction with the JCC’s Social Services

departments and other community resources, we also provide benefits screenings

and enrollment, legal and financial counseling, access to a Kosher food pantry,

supportive counseling, and access to health benefits.

IT Training with Per Scholas

began offering free classes in the fall. The course is live streamed from Per Scholas

headquarters to the Bernikow Building, where an Instructional Assistant in the

NEW JCC Career Connections
