Who We Are

For over 70 years, the JCC of Bayonne has supported the Hudson County community. We are a non-sectarian social service agency, welcoming all faiths, ethnicities, and backgrounds.

Our dedicated, highly qualified staff celebrates family, promotes well-being, and fosters lasting community connections.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely on program fees, partnerships, rentals, and donations to sustain our mission, with no city tax funding.
