About JEWISH COMMUNITY ALLIANCE INC

The Jewish Community Alliance (JCA) of Jacksonville is a multi-service Jewish community center that provides early childhood education, youth and family programs, fitness and wellness services, cultural arts, and senior/adult enrichment from a campus in Jacksonville, Florida. The organization positions itself as a community hub that advances Jewish identity while serving the broader Northeast Florida population through recreation, education, arts, and social programming. In the last 2–3 years the JCA has expanded community-facing cultural programming (including the Jacksonville Jewish Cultural Arts Festival), continued its long-running early childhood and summer camp operations (Michele Block Gan Yeladim Preschool & JCAmp), and launched/advanced a major capital campaign to renovate and expand the campus. The JCA remains an active, donor-facing 501(c)(3) with an established web presence and recent public reporting (Form 990) confirming operations and leadership.
