The Jewish Community Center of Greater Orlando is in the business of helping to build community, strengthening family life, and promoting Jewish identity.

The JCC is the Jewish gateway and neighborhood where all are welcome. It provides quality experiences through a mix of formal and informal Jewish educational, recreational, and cultural activities. The JCC provides quality programs and activities to all families in the community regardless of race, religion or national origin. In the past five years, over $300,000 per year in scholarships is provided to area families in need thanks to the generous support received from Heart of Florida United Way, the Jewish Federation of Greater Orlando, and individual donors. Financial assistance is available to families in need.

The Jewish Community Center of Greater Orlando was born of a dream realized in 1973, through the efforts of several dedicated leaders, who recognized the community’s emerging need for social, educational and cultural programming.

Thus, a little wooden house in a Maitland orange grove became the foundation for the ongoing success and positive impact the JCC has had on its growing community.

The JCC has come a long way from that little wooden house and our first 26 families. Today, a 68,000-square-foot facility in the heart of Maitland is enjoyed by over 20,000 members of the Greater Orlando community, both Jewish and non-Jewish.
