JCC

A new program called 'Abbas & Babbas' has launched at the Jewish Community Center in Denver, aimed at helping fathers connect and build community. The initiative brings dads together with their young children ('babbas') for shared activities and support, addressing a gap in parenting spaces that typically center mothers. The local program highlights growing interest in father-focused community groups across the Denver area.

JCC has been awarded a $100,000 grant to support student mental health and wellness programs. The funding will help the institution expand services addressing student well-being. Local radio outlet WRFA reported the award, which comes amid broader concern about rising mental health needs among college students.
