Before most people arrive at the JCC each morning, Guerrero and his team are already hard at work helping create a welcoming space for the community. From building his own business with the JCC's support to finding a true sense of belonging, Guerrero's story is a testament to the power of community, kindness, and feeling at home.
There's something fitting about kicking off a festival built around the community with a performer whose entire show depends on it. On October 8 at 7:00 PM, the 2026 Neustadt JAAMM Festival opens its doors with magician and mentalist Max Davidson. If you've never seen his work before, buckle up. This isn't a guy in a tuxedo pulling rabbits out of hats. This is something altogether different: part illusion, part storytelling, part shared human experience, and entirely unlike anything you've seen on a stage. 
August is Make a Will Month, and it's a good moment to sit with that question in a warm, practical, you've-got-this kind of way. Because estate planning isn't really about paperwork. It's about love. It's about looking at the people who matter most to you and saying: I thought about you. I made a plan.  The JCC is hosting an informational session with two local estate lawyers on August 26 to help answer these questions. 
August is National Dog Month, and honestly, we couldn't think of a better excuse to celebrate the four-legged members of our JCC extended family.  If you've ever walked into a space and immediately felt your whole mood lift, there's a decent chance a dog was involved.  At the JCC Denver, we've been thinking a lot about dogs lately (occupational hazard, it turns out, when so many of your staff are devoted dog parents). And the more we talked about it, the more we realized: beyond enriching our personal lives, dogs reflect something deeply important about who we are and what we value. 
For more than five decades, Rosie Wagner helped keep the JCC Denver running from behind the scenes in the business office she called home. This June, the JCC honored her remarkable 54 years of service with the dedication of her beloved teal typewriter and a commemorative plaque. Through her legacy gift and the generosity of family and friends, Rosie’s commitment to the community continues to make an impact for generations to come.
Teaching a child to swim has long been recognized as an essential life skill—even in the Talmud. At the JCC, swim lessons go beyond learning strokes, helping children build water safety awareness, confidence, resilience, and independence. Through Swim Readiness programs, camp experiences, and family education, the JCC empowers children and parents alike with the skills they need to stay safe and thrive in and around the water.
Tu B'Av, the Jewish holiday of love and connection, has been bringing people together for generations. At JCC Denver, that spirit lives on through programs and events that foster friendship, community, and belonging—from young children learning about kindness and appreciation to adults building meaningful relationships through shared experiences. Whether you're making new friends, strengthening existing bonds, or finding your place in the community, Tu B'Av reminds us that connection is something worth celebrating.
