Member of the Month

Strength knows no limits — and neither does she. 💙

Meet Steph, who continues to inspire everyone around her through determination, resilience, and heart. Living with cerebral palsy has never stopped her from pursuing her goals, breaking barriers, and thriving in every aspect of life. From dominating the active world to successfully owning her own business, she proves every day that limitations do not define a person. Her passion, perseverance, and positivity make her a true inspiration to our entire community. We are proud to celebrate her journey and love seeing her face in The J everyday.

Who we are. How you can help.

Stronger. Together.

The Valley of the Sun Jewish Community Center builds connections to the Jewish Community in a setting that enriches physical, mental, and spiritual growth. 

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, membership and program fees account for only a portion of the funding required to provide community support. The remainder comes from corporate and community partners, foundations, grants, fundraisers, and individual donors, like you, throughout the year. 

A contribution of any size makes an impact, supporting members and families in need, ensuring no one is left behind due to financial circumstances.

Every donation allows us to provide life-enriching experiences, opportunities, and services to community members of all ages and faiths.
