Who We Are
The JCC of Bayonne is a non-sectarian social service agency that has been serving the needs of the Hudson County community since 1952. Our programs and services celebrate family, foster well being, create friendships and expand community relationships. We warmly welcome people of all ages, faiths, ethnicities and backgrounds.
The JCC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, membership-supported organization. Memberships, program fees, partnerships and donations drive our funding; we do not receive funding from city taxes.
Our staff at the JCC are all highly qualified individuals whose credentials include a mix of certification and education, years of experience, and longevity within our community. They are a dedicated team whose aim is to serve our families well.
