For more than 30 years, Alper JCC Miami, affectionately known as the “J,” has been a true hub for the South Miami-Dade community. On a 23-acre campus in Kendall, the “J” is more than just a center, it’s a gathering place for learning, wellness, creativity, and belonging.
Each week, we welcome more than 5,000 unique visitors of all ages. From infants to seniors, through a rich array of offerings including early childhood education, youth and teen programs, arts and culture, fitness and wellness, and special-needs inclusion.
Your gift on Give Miami Day helps the J continue to open its doors to everyone in our community, regardless of background or financial means. Donations support scholarships for children and families in need, sustain meaningful programs that promote health, connection, and inclusion, and ensure that our campus remains a safe, welcoming space where thousands find joy, growth, and belonging each week.
Together, we keep the heart of South Miami-Dade beating strong.
