Peninsula Jewish Community Center

The mission of the Peninsula Jewish Community Center (PJCC) is to build a caring and connected community, develop leadership, and strengthen Jewish identity and values in a center with an environment that is welcoming to all people at every stage of life. The PJCC serves all of San Mateo County through programming and educational initiatives that emphasize holistic wellness of mind, body, spirit, and environment.

The PJCC’s overarching goals are to promote wellness, prevent isolation, build knowledge and community bonds, and help one another to improve the world. To ensure the PJCC positively impacts the communities it serves, it offers a range of services: healthy eating classes; social programs for seniors; a community gardening program for the Center and public school students; a strong cultural arts program, and much more. The PJCC embraces the diversity of culture, opinion, religion, and identity in our wider community, serving as a center for wellness, the community, families, and for Jewish life and culture.
