Mission: KleinLife is a vibrant community resource that provides social, educational and cultural programs, and vital health, wellness and social services. Its membership is multigenerational, mixed income and ethnically diverse. Individuals regularly come together to participate in enrichment offerings, receive vital services, enjoy each other’s company, and connect to additional resources and support.
Rooted in Jewish values, KleinLife is an important destination for the region’s Jewish population—young and old. It serves as a lively home-away-from-home for seniors and a welcoming gathering place for Russian Jews.
Driven by the needs of its constituents, KleinLife tailors its high-quality programming to the diverse community it serves, and utilizes connections, creativity and business acumen to fill service gaps. Members have the best of both worlds—programs and services developed by KleinLife professionals who have a rich history and knowledge of the community, blended with specialty services offered by partner organizations that bring specific expertise, resources and a shared vision of wellbeing. This approach allows KleinLife to respond effectively to the evolving interests and needs of the community, while remaining nimble in the face of ever-changing environmental factors.
KleinLife remains committed to providing an unmatched level and range of services that support the overall health, wellbeing and quality of life of its constituents. As the organization continues to expand its reach and offerings, it will hold true to its strong foundation of tikkun olam and its dedication to enhancing the lives of all individuals from age two to 102.
