New Orleans JCC

What New Orleans JCC does

The New Orleans Jewish Community Center ("New Orleans JCC") is a private non-profit Jewish Community Center headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, affiliated with the Jewish Community Center Association (JCCA) and the Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans. The firmographics cite an 1855 founding; its website copyright runs from 2008. The organization operates two physical campuses: an Uptown facility at 5342 St. Charles Avenue and the Goldring-Woldenberg Jewish Community Center in Metairie at 3747 W. Esplanade Avenue. Across both sites, it runs a broad, multi-generational community programming portfolio rather than a single product line.

Core programs include fitness and aquatics (group exercise, personal training, TRX, reformer Pilates/yoga, small group training, Rock Steady Boxing for Parkinson's, an outdoor and indoor pool complex, a swim school, and the Dolphins Swim Team); an Early Childhood Center (ECC) nursery school; summer day camp; youth and teen programming; active-adult programming (Memory Cafe, book clubs, J University lectures, men's groups, men's and women's programming, aging-wellness seminars); Jewish cultural programming through the Morris Bart Sr. Lecture Series and the Cathy and Morris Bart Jewish Cultural Arts Series; and community outreach via J on the Move (in-school fitness) and the New Americans Club.

The business model is membership-driven on a subscription cadence with auto-renewing monthly or annual dues, supplemented by unit-priced event fees ($3–$200), ECC tuition, summer camp fees, facility rentals ("Book Our Space"), corporate sponsorship and advertising, and donation fundraising through a GiveCloud portal and tribute-card program. Membership tiers include Gold (Uptown), Gold (Metairie), and Universal, with a $10/month freeze option and $50–$75 rejoin fees. The technology backbone is the third-party Amilia platform — extended via the New Orleans JCC-branded iOS/Android app — handling online member services, class registration, and activity reservations such as pickleball and lap swimming. Membership pricing notes indicate non-refundable, non-transferable dues plus a joining fee (25% earmarked to the JCC building fund) and a $25 annual building assessment.
