Membership Levels

One of JCP’s core values is inclusivity which is why we have two models of membership: a flat rate full membership and a pay-what-you-can flex membership. The pay-what-you-can model aims to remove financial barriers that may prevent individuals or families from accessing JCP’s amazing services. It ensures that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, can participate and benefit from membership in JCP.

“Our lives are made richer and more meaningful when we belong to something larger than ourselves. Our Rabbis intended for Jews to learn, pray, celebrate, mourn, and grow together. We can’t and shouldn’t have to go through life alone. You are an important part of our community, and we hope that you will commit to building and growing JCP by joining as a member today.”
