Why is the website changing?

At the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan, we're constantly working to improve your experience and better serve our community. We're excited to announce website updates in the coming weeks! These changes will start rolling out in December and will make it easier for you to interact with us. Some of the benefits include:

  • Easier and faster program registration (fewer clicks!)
  • A new and improved Member Dashboard
  • The ability to update your personal and billing information online
  • The option to schedule payments and view/print receipts
  • You can reset your password!
  • ...and more!

What changes will happen first?

The most important update is that you will be asked to log in to (or create!) an online account with a new password. If you currently have an online account, input your email or phone number. The system will “recognize you” and will prompt you to create a new password.

If you're not currently a member of the JCC, you'll be asked to set up a free Public Member account.

You'll also notice that some web pages will look different, but everything will still work as usual. We hope you'll find it easier to search for, select, register, and manage your programs.

Why do some pages look so different?

Some of these pages may seem very simplified to streamline your online experience. This allows the website to be faster and more mobile-friendly and reduces the steps you need to take to complete a purchase or registration.
