OUR MISSION

The Jewish Community Council of Greater Coney Island (JCCGCI) is a community-based organization with a citywide impact, providing a wide spectrum of services to benefit all segments of the population. These include supportive services for older adults, career services, educational support, crime reduction initiatives, community revitalization efforts, mental health services, and more. JCCGCI also offers capacity-building services to nonprofits across all five boroughs through its NonProfit HelpDesk division (www.nphd.org). With 40 program sites throughout New York City staffed by approximately 400 social service professionals, JCCGCI assists upwards of 2,500 vulnerable individuals and families each day, working tirelessly to improve lives and strengthen communities.

Our programs are available to all segments of the population, regardless of race and religion. We serve the city’s frail elderly, vocationally disadvantaged poor, underprivileged immigrants and educationally at-risk youth populations to help successfully address the challenges they encounter and attain independence with dignity.

Executive Director

“As Executive Director of the Jewish Community Council of Greater Coney Island, I am deeply moved and inspired by the profound impact our organization has made this past year. Whether it was a warm meal delivered to a homebound older adult, a job skills training that led to employment, or crucial support for a Holocaust survivor, these moments of connection and empowerment are the heart of our mission.”
