The JCC Maccabi Games® & Access is a celebration of our entire community, working together to strengthen our identity, engage volunteers of all ages and build a foundation for the future.
This event will require the time and assistance of more than 1,500 volunteers. From host families to event operations and everything in between, there are volunteer opportunities to fit your interest, talent and schedule. Whether you volunteer during the week of the Games or in a role leading up to the event, the time is now to get involved!
All volunteers must be 18 years of age or older as of July 31, 2025 for daytime shifts or 21 or older to volunteer for the evening social events. Volunteers of all faiths are welcome.
This is an incredible opportunity to be in the heart of the JCC Maccabi Games® experience. We cannot do it alone. For more information, please contact Marcus Mendleson, JCC Maccabi Games Asst Director at mmendleson@tucsonjcc.org.
