SUMMARY:New Parent Coffee: Lightening the Parenting Load
DESCRIPTION:Join us for coffee\, the company of other new parents\, and a relaxed conversation about how to get the help you need to lighten your parenting load. Parenthood brings new responsibilities and new joys that need to fit into your already-busy life. Led by Jennifer Mickel of The Third Shift\, a company focused on maximizing joyful parenthood\, this conversation will cover how to find support\, including the lesser-known options around dishes\, laundry\, and meal prep that many parents don’t think about. \nWe’ll talk about what’s available\, how to decide what help is worth getting\, and how to make choices that fit your family and your budget. You’ll leave with ideas for affordable household help\, a framework for deciding what makes sense for your situation\, and concrete resources you can explore based on your needs. \nBring your babies! Expecting parents also warmly welcomed. New Parent Coffees are open to any new parents or anyone expecting the arrival of a baby\, whether biological\, adoptive\, through a gestational carrier\, or any other pathway. LGBTQ and straight\, Jewish and non-Jewish – all are warmly welcomed! \nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to Miriam at mszubin@edcjcc.org.

SUMMARY:Before Baby: A Series for Expecting Parents
DESCRIPTION:Expecting your first baby? Looking to create community with other expecting parents? This group will meet weekly in person at the EDCJCC (at 16th and Q) for four weeks to provide a safe space for parents-to-be to discuss their experiences and learn from one another. We will be joined each week by an expert in a relevant field\, including a perinatal mental health provider\, a doula\, and a lactation and feeding specialist\, who will help us understand the range of support options and services available. Of course\, we will leave plenty of time for Q&A\, discussion\, and schmoozing. \n\n\n\nThis session will be held on Tuesday evenings\, June 2-23\, 2026. The first and fourth weeks are intended for expecting moms only. Dads and non-birthing parents are warmly welcomed to join us for Weeks 2 and 3\, and they will have the option to have their own separate session on Week 4 if desired. The group will be kept small so that connections can be fostered easily. \n\n\n\nAdvance registration is required. If you have any questions or if the cost of this program poses a barrier in any way\, please reach out to Miriam at mszubin@edcjcc.org.

SUMMARY:Teen Volunteer Project: DC Central Kitchen
DESCRIPTION:Teens ages 12-18 are invited to join us for a morning of volunteering with our close partner organization DC Central Kitchen\, which uses volunteer help to transform 3\,000 pounds of otherwise wasted food into 5\,000 healthy meals for schools\, homeless shelters\, and social service agencies.

SUMMARY:Family Shabbat Clusters
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a Shabbat community? Want to meet other families in the DC area?

The EDCJCC will provide Shabbat blessings\, ritual materials\, and logistical support in setting up the dinners. \n\n\n\nRegistration closes on Monday\, July 6. \n\n\n\nPlease note that the registration fee helps the JCC cover some of the costs of running the Family Shabbat Clusters program and represents your commitment to attending. If this cost is prohibitive or if you have any additional questions\, please email Sonya at sweisburd@edcjcc.org.
