I grew up at the JCC in Rochester, NY, went to day and overnight camp and then began working at the JCC. Once I started working at the J and saw the impact you could make on the lives of others I was hooked. I graduated from college and immediately began working as a professional at the JCC in Scranton.
I am blessed to have loved doing what I do every day and inspired to keep learning and growing every day. The Tucson JCC sees itself as the town square of the community. We make a promise that guides our work: We create community based on Jewish Values by creating the highest quality programs and services in a safe and secure environment for ALL people of ALL ages. trockoff@tucsonjcc.org
