Community Partners

While The J is taking the lead in planning and managing The Games, its success hinges on a community-wide effort. With the support of our local community partners, host families and hundreds of volunteers, we will make Kansas City’s JCC Maccabi Games a week to remember!

We are thrilled that Kansas City has been selected to host the 2026 JCC Maccabi Games, the world’s largest Jewish youth sporting event, from August 2–7, 2026.

Why Partner?

Help unify and inspire our entire Jewish community. Through your involvement, we can:

Connect generations, as we bring together teens, families, volunteers, and community leaders
Foster pride and identity, offering teens a life-changing experience rooted in Jewish values
Build bridges across organizations, synagogues, and schools through shared purpose and collaboration
Showcase Kansas City as a welcoming and vibrant Jewish hub on a global stage
Inspire action by helping recruit host families, athletes, and volunteers who will carry the spirit of the Games into our community long after the event ends
