Our Mission
On Mission to Strengthen
Jewish Life
JCC’s create spaces where people of all ages can gather, grow, and feel part of a shared
community, and we’re creating that here at Contra Costa. Contra Costa JCC carries that
mission forward by meeting people wherever they are in their Jewish journey.
Jewish Community Center Movement
Supporting Jewish Life for More than a Century
Our story is still unfolding. As our community grows, we continue building programs and resources that reflect what people need today: warmth, belonging, and a place to be part of something meaningful.
JCCs have always been hubs for culture, learning, and connection, serving as bridges across backgrounds, practices, and generations. Contra Costa JCC continues this legacy in our own community. What began as a grassroots effort to create more connection in the East Bay has grown into a vibrant home for Jewish engagement. We have evolved to support families, newcomers, young professionals, and long-time residents who want to feel anchored in Jewish life.
