What's Happening Around the Bender... JCC
Manage episode 484257100 series 2883789
Nestled in the heart of Rockville, Maryland lies a community treasure that many Montgomery County residents might be surprised to discover is open to everyone. The Bender JCC of Greater Washington isn't just a fitness center or cultural hub—it's a 119,000-square-foot community crossroads where diversity thrives and inclusion isn't just talked about, it's lived daily.
CEO Joshua Bender (coincidentally sharing the name with the center's benefactors) paints a vivid picture of what makes this space special: "If you stand in our lobby long enough, you'll hear 12, 15 languages throughout the day."
Visit benderjccgw.org to learn more about how you can become part of this vibrant community hub that's been serving the region since 1969.
This episode also includes excerpts from interviews recorded during National Bring Your Child to Work Day at Montgomery County Government.
