​ In addition to sports programs, the JCC provides fun and enriching activities for teens to participate in. Our programs emphasize leadership while allowing teens to have fun throughout the year.

iTeens

Looking for a teen leadership group that focuses on planning social events and organizing community service projects? iTeens is the answer. The group meets regularly and is guided by the Jewish value of Tikkun Olam - Healing our not yet perfect world. Previous activities include a bowling trip, a sushi-making class, and an escape the room experience.

Jewish clubs in schools

The JCC now runs Jewish Clubs in several high schools throughout the borough. In-school programs have included holiday celebrations, challah baking demos, and a Krav Maga class. High schools in the program include CSI High School for International Studies, Gaynor McCown Expeditionary Learning School, Susan Wagner High School, and Tottenville High School.
​To get more information about the existing clubs or to start your own in a different school, please contact Ester Abramovich at ​[email protected]

Teen Membership

​Teen membership is for teens in the 7th - 12th grade who are not part of a family membership. It is not applicable for camp. Documentation showing grade is required.
Teen members ages 13-15 must take a Teen Tune Up Certification Course before using the Fitness Center. This trains on the concepts of fit­ness, etiquette in the facility, and authorization to use the facility under the supervision of the fitness floor staff.
Contact our Membership Department at 718.475.5223 or [email protected] for details.

DRIVERS EDUCATION

We are excited to announce that Driver’s Ed will be back this fall! The JCC contracts with a local vendor to provide a Driver Education program for new drivers 16 years and older. The class meets at the South Shore/Avis JCC for classroom work and in-car classes. The course is a comprehensive introduction to the driving experience. Students must successfully complete both the road and theory portions of the course in order to receive a MV 285, formerly known as the Blue Card. For more information, call 732.267.1348.
