Welcome to the Joan and Alan Bernikow

Jewish Community Center

We are pleased and excited to have you visiting our building as you take part in the wonderful new

Innovative Senior Center named the Center for Life Long Development. Whether you use the pool for

a water aerobics class, “trek” through our Fitness Center or enjoy dinner and then dance to the music

of the Full Count Big Band, you’ll find our modern facility easy to navigate and our staff welcoming

and eager to help. After you have spent time here if you are curious about having access to all the JCC

has to offer on your own schedule, be sure to stop by the Membership Office and speak to Jill Gottlieb,

our JCC Membership Director. She’ll be happy to explain your options and the benefits of becoming a

platinum member at the JCC.

Susan Sappin, JCC President David Sorkin, Executive Director

Social Service Programs at the JCC

The Jewish Community Center functions as a human services agency committed to enhancing the

physical, intellectual and spiritual wellness of the individual, family and community. We provide health,

cultural and educational programs that serve the community at large, with special attention given to

populations at risk. Among the many programs the JCC administers are Case Management Services,

which provides older homebound adults and their families a case manager to help navigate the maze

of services to develop strength-based individual care plans. We also offer Caregiver Services for adults

caring for elderly spouses and parents with physical or cognitive disorders as well as a program for

Grandparents as Caregivers. Our Kosher Meals on Wheels program delivers meals to elderly home-

bound providing vital help and contact to the most isolated.

In addition to all these DFTA supported programs, the JCC provides services and programs for

over 30,000 individuals and support over 600 young families on Staten Island with day care, after-

school care, tutoring and related services.

If you would like to contribute or support any of these vital services, please contact Kevin Brosnick,

Director of Individual Giving at 718.475.5256 or kbrosnick@sijcc.com.
