The Overlap Program Series

Discovering Common Ground Through Culture

Celebrate cultural diversity through comedy, music, art, literature and film as we bring together communities and creators from different backgrounds. The Overlap reminds us that the differences that divide us are far smaller than the common ground we share. This program is generously funded by the Sam Berman Charitable Foundation and presented in collaboration with the David Posnack JCC’s George Gottlieb Institute, and the Jewish Federation of Broward County.

Overlap FC (Football Club)
Plans are underway for Overlap FC, an interfaith youth soccer program developed in collaboration with Unity Through Sport. Designed for children ages 4–10, the program brings young athletes together to build friendship, respect, and teamwork through the power of sport. On the field, players celebrate differences, discover common ground, and grow stronger together. The Overlap FC soccer clinic is expected to launch in fall 2026, with more details to come. Stay tuned for updates as the program develops
