About us

Mission Statement
The mission of the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City is to enrich our diverse community by cultivating an inclusive environment built upon Jewish values, heritage and culture. We offer programs of excellence that enhance wellness, meaning and joy from generation to generation.

History
Since 1917 when The Center first opened its doors at 3123 Troost, it has grown and adapted to serve the changing needs of Greater Kansas City's vital Jewish, as well as secular, community. The Center has never closed its doors and its commitment to offer the finest recreational, social and educational services has only grown deeper as it has moved from its facility on Linwood to Holmes, from Indian Creek to south Johnson County.

The Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City prides itself on its contribution to the community and its "staying" power to be a mainstay for generations to come---L'Dor V'Dor!
