Overview

Mission

The jewish community center of san francisco believes the jewish culture and traditions provide a pathway for joyful, meaningful living. In a changing world, jccsf brings people together to explore, connect and flourish.

What it reported doing in 2024

The jccsf's youth and family life team focuses on providing children age-appropriate experiences of creativity and learning with a goal of making "mensches" through a values-based approach to everyday activities highlighted through the rhythms and vocabulary of jewish culture. Through citywide, the jccsf increases enthusiasm and interest in dance and sports among majority latinx youth in underserved neighborhoods where access to high-quality enrichment activities is limited. Jccsf camps nurture curiosity, encourage play and build collaboration and tech literacy skills to ensure our children's success in a world where change is constant and learning never stops. From learning new team- and individual sports, to nature exploring, dabbling in the performing arts and experimenting with steam & (cont. On sch. O) maker activities, jccsf summer camp is where all kids shine.
