What We Do

We serve as the focal point of Jewish community life in San Luis Obispo County. We are a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization enriching life in the area and connecting people of all backgrounds, ages, and religions.  

The JCC-Federation is a part of the Jewish Federations of North America, a global network of communities. Locally, we are members of the SLO Chamber of Commerce, SPOKES, and the Downtown Association, along with being a partner (through our social service agency, Jewish Family Services of SLO) with Transitions-Mental Health Association. The JCC-Federation is also served by the Hebrew Free Loan Association of San Francisco, a nonprofit that provides interest-free loans to help Jewish individuals in Northern California (including San Luis Obispo) overcome financial challenges and pursue life dreams.

Our 2,300+ member-based organization is led by its Board of Directors, Jewish Family Services Volunteer Intake Coordinator, JCC-Federation Manager, committees and volunteers. Please contact us if you are interested in becoming more involved by donating your time, support, or expertise at info@jccslo.com

Strategic Vision

We held our first Strategy Session five years ago to better articulate the vision of the organization. With a lot of hard work, we met those 5-year goals within 3 years! Each year we update our Vision Plan, as outlined in our Annual Report: Annual Report 2021.

Here is our Annual Meeting Presentation made available for your convenience. 

Further details on our Financials are publicly reported online here.
