Westside Jewish Community Center

Founded in 1954, Westside Jewish Community Center’s (Westside JCC) mission is to build community based on Jewish values by creating opportunities for gathering and learning. Westside JCC reaches out to all Jews and the greater community by offering stimulating and innovative educational, social, cultural, recreational, and communal programs and activities fostering a strong connection to Israel. Westside JCC aspires to offer programming that provides meaning and purpose to Jewish values, and space that creates a sense of belonging for everyone it touches.

Westside JCC serves the Jewish and broader community in our neighborhood and Los Angeles. Our flagship programs are our outstanding Early Childhood Center, our growing year-round day camp program JCamp and our teen leadership and sports programs, Diller Teen Fellows and Maccabi. Other programs include our aquatics center with 2,450 swim lessons weekly, senior wellness programming, parent and me programming, fitness classes, programs for individuals with special needs and youth sports leagues. 

Our Mission Statement

• To assure the Jewish future for our people.
• To preserve and celebrate our rich Jewish heritage and to cultivate Jewish values and quality Jewish life in our community.
• To create and maintain a sense of neighborhood by providing gathering places for individuals, families and organizations of Jewish life as well as the general community.

We accomplish this by reaching out to Jews and the greater community by offering stimulating and innovative educational, social, cultural, recreational and communal programs and activities and fostering a strong connection with Israel.
