The Jewish Community Center of Greater Baltimore recently announced a new collaborative initiative with the Edward A. Myerberg Center to offer additional opportunities for active older adults to engage in social and interpersonal interactions through relevant enrichment activities.
Programming and engagement will focus on core areas of socialization, recreation and wellness, with the overall goal to improve the mental and physical health of active older adults.
With many active seniors already attending the JCC for fitness and episodic programming, this will only increase engagement for that targeted age group with other new offerings at the Rosenbloom Owings Mills JCC.
The new partnership was made possible by a grant from The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore, with a dedicated JCC program coordinator on staff.
“The new ‘Myerberg at the J’ partnership is a win-win for both of our organizations to advance the Owings Mills JCC’s ability to provide social, recreational and enrichment for our active adults,” said Barak Hermann, chief executive officer of the JCC. “We are so fortunate to work within The Associated system which has enabled the JCC to collaborate with the Myerberg team of professionals and their expert knowledge of this market.”
For more than four decades, the Myerberg Center, located at 3101 Fallstaff Road in Northwest Baltimore, has offered a wide variety of programming in the arts, humanities, wellness and technology for active older adults.
The center’s management and operation is overseen by CHAI, or Comprehensive Housing Assistance Inc.
“CHAI and the Edward A. Myerberg are thrilled to partner with the JCC to bring some of the Myerberg’s unique and engaging art and humanities classes to Owings Mills,” said CHAI CEO Lisa K. Budlow. “We are looking forward to helping build community through programming specifically tailored to the interests of age 55+ JCC members.”
