The York JCC’s story began in 1910 as the Young Men’s and Young Women’s Hebrew Association (YM/YWHA), and in October 1989 it opened its doors on Hollywood Drive as the York JCC. The York Jewish Community Center operates as a non-profit community center that is deeply rooted in Jewish values while welcoming individuals of all faiths, backgrounds, and walks of life, and it operates within the tradition of Jewish cultural heritage. The organization states that it creates opportunities for everyone, inspires relationships, builds a community of well-being, and enhances Jewish communal life. It identifies seven core values that guide its work: Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World), Teamwork, Communications, Compassion, Accountability, Integrity, and Respect, and it offers more than 100 Group Fitness and Water Classes and provides guest passes with stated exclusions. The York JCC describes itself as a vibrant community center dedicated to welcoming the diverse population of York County, PA. Testimonials from participants include statements such as “It’s nice to have lifelong friends from this community, where you feel safe and feel like you have a support system,” “We’ve gained more family time,” “The York JCC is our home away from home,” “The York JCC means my independence,” “The York JCC means everything in my childrens’ lives,” and “Most of my friendships started at the York JCC.”
