Find Yourself At The

Welcome Dear Friends, Spring is upon us, and we are very happy to say goodbye to winter! This was a challenging winter with an unusual number of storms that interfered with our schedule. I want to thank the MJCC staff, all of whom made every effort to minimize the interruptions to our programs and services, and I want to thank our members for their patience as we attempted to deal with the challenges presented by heavy snow and surprise ice storms. We’re thrilled that spring is here!

Welcome

JCC in the 1950s

My parents are making sure the MJCC will be here for my children.

Childcare

For over 100 years, the Mittleman Jewish Community Center has been the “living room” of Portland’s Jewish Community. Originally located in the heart of Old South Portland, the MJCC moved to its current campus in 1971.

Over the years, our programs and services have evolved and expanded, but our mission remains unchanged—to enrich Jewish life in our community by providing for the social, cultural, educational, and recreational needs of the Jewish community, and serving as the common meeting place for the entire Jewish community.

Fitness

Contributions support additional programming in all areas: fitness, aquatics, sports and recreation, cultural arts, educational offerings, and family, teen, and young adult programs – as well as scholarships for memberships and day camp. We are committed to ensuring that no one is ever turned away due to an inability to pay.
