Supporting Security at the Jewish Community Center of Denver

Security is not just about guards at the door. It's about all of us.

It’s the mom who stops at the front desk without being asked. The member who uses the correct entrance, even when it takes an extra two minutes. The parent who speaks up when something doesn’t feel right, even if they aren’t sure.

These choices matter. Together, they create a culture of safety.

And that culture is what makes the Jewish Community Center of Denver more than a building. It’s what makes it home.

For more than 100 years, the Jewish Community Center of Denver has been the heart of Denver's Jewish community, a place where families gather, children learn, and generations connect. Protecting that place is not optional. It is essential.

Each year, JCC Denver invests more than $400,000 in security to keep our Jewish friends and families safe. During the Jewish Days of Giving, you have the opportunity to help carry that cost and ensure that safety remains a quiet, steady presence for every child, every parent, every senior and all those in between who walk through our doors. Give today to protect tomorrow.

Testimonials

"As a Jewish mother, trusting others with my children is never something I take lightly. My younger child attends daycare at the ELS, my oldest spends summers at Camp Shai, and as a family, we spend a lot of time within the walls and warmth of the JCC. The JCC is more than a place, it’s where my kids feel joy, pride, and belonging in their Jewish identity.

That’s why security matters so deeply to me. Knowing strong security is in place allows me to take a deep breath when I drop them off, and knowing that these protections require constant vigilance and support reminds me how important it is for our community to show up. Safety in Jewish spaces isn’t optional, it’s essential, especially in these difficult times where Jewish identity is so often targeted. Supporting security at the JCC means protecting our children, our families, and the future of our community."
