History of Center
The Jewish Community Center on the Hudson (formerly the JCC in Yonkers) was founded in 1929.  Viewed as the focal point for the local Jewish community and its sister organizations, the JCC provided, then and now, an important gateway to Jewish life for thousands of Jewish families.

Following its successful outreach efforts to the Rivertowns Community of Westchester in 1986, the JCC has evolved into a dynamic community resource for individuals of all ages, races and religions.  As a non-sectarian community center, the JCC provides an array of services including nursery school, after-school care, school of music and performing arts, senior clubs, day camping, Jewish and general education and a state of the art fitness center.

In addition, the JCC provides the Jewish community with a rich and varied selection of programs to learn and enjoy their Jewish heritage.  The Center also has expanded its program offerings in recent years to provide services for individuals with disabilities through social and recreational programming.

The JCC is registered through New York State as a 501(c)3, not-for-profit corporation, guided by a dedicated volunteer Board of Governors and an experienced professional staff.

We hope you’ll explore the opportunities available at the JCC and consider becoming a member of our JCC family.
