Jewish After School at Your JCC

JASA has developed an adaptable program model that is financially sustainable and adds a new revenue stream to the JCC portfolio. JASA programs are designed to need no additional philanthropic support after the initial investment.

Jewish After School programs bridge the gap between pre-school programs and summer camp, keeping families engaged and increasing traffic to your facility on a daily basis throughout the school year.

For JCCs with athletic and aquatic facilities, Jewish After School offers a dynamic way to leverage infrastructure and create synergies between programs. Create customizable enrollment options that leverage your infrastructure, generate additional revenue, and provide children with a greater variety options for skill building and learning during their weekly routine. (An example: For an “add on” fee, a child could add sports , dance, or swimming lessons throughout the week, in addition to the regular After School program)

Add a dynamic, Jewish content rich program to your portfolio. Give kids the opportunity to experience the JCC and all it has to offer through intentional, value based, Jewish educational experiences that are active, inclusive, and fun for kids. The JASA student curriculum is designed specifically for the unique needs of the after school classroom, and is adaptable to your needs and goals.

The JASA Student Curriculum also seamlessly integrates with the Sheva Lenses of educational approach used by many JCCs across the country. As kids continue to learn along the same path of values, with similar language and goals throughout all of the programs they attend across the JCC, you can be confident that we will translate the JASA student curriculum to the language of Sheva Lenses in its implementation, training, and materials.

Jewish After School programs attract families that are not yet engaged in the Jewish community, by offering a convenient adjacency service that is welcoming, Jewish, and convenient.

Like summer camp every day after school, Jewish After School is fun and engaging for kids, and serves as an on-ramp for new families to become connected to their local Jewish community.

Your JCC will thrive as you nurture and grow relationships with local partners, schools, organizations, and government. With new community relationships come opportunities for visibility in local events and programs, expanded partnerships, and collaboration projects.
