Membership

Warm, inclusive and welcoming is how our members describe the JCC of of the Lehigh Valley. Don’t just take our word for it, visit the JCC of the Lehigh Valley and take a tour, talk to our members, and see for yourself. As soon as you walk in, you'll feel the warmth and understand that this isn't your average gym or community center. While celebrating our Jewish heritage and traditions, we invite everyone to take advantage of the services that we have to offer and enjoy the connections you will make.
