Youth Clubs

The East Valley Jewish Community Center's Youth Department has three fantastic youth groups from which to choose. These groups begin in October and meet during the school year. Prospective youth members can attend two meetings before paying the annual membership fee. Membership ensures that each child is placed on our computer list, and sent all the pertinent information about the many activities and events planned for their age group. There will be a nominal fee charged for each meeting to cover any additional costs. Group discount rates are passed on whenever possible to help keep the fees reasonable.

Club 12 (1st & 2nd Graders), Club 34 (3rd & 4th Graders) and Teens & Tweens (5th, 6th & 7th Graders) are special clubs that meet one night a month from 6:30 - 8:00pm. Club 34 and Teens & Tweens usually meet together unless there are enough Teens & Tweens to meet separately.

We do occasionally meet on a Sunday or another night of the week to do an activity.

These clubs enjoy in-house events such as recreational games, obstacle courses, movies, pizza parties, etc. A few times during the year we will meet for outings such as Fiddlesticks, Peter Piper Pizza, bowling ice-skating, etc.

Membership fees are: JCC members $15.00 / Non Members $20.00. Please call Lisa at (480) 897-0588 to sign up or for more information.

October's Youth Activity: Fiddlesticks
All 3 clubs (Club 12, Club 34 & Teens & Tweens) will meet at Fiddlesticks (Elliot & Priest) on Thursday Oct. 24th at 6:30pm. We will have 1 hour of unlimited rides plus a round of Miniature Golf.
