At the PJCC, we believe that every person deserves to feel seen, safe, and celebrated. That’s why we’re committed to building a community where LGBTQ+ individuals and families not only belong—but thrive. As a Jewish Community Center rooted in Jewish values, we honor the dignity and humanity of all people, inclusive of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. What makes PJCC an excellent place for the LGBTQ+ community? Inclusive Programs & Events: From Pride celebrations to educational workshops and panel discussions, we create spaces that affirm LGBTQ+ experiences and elevate LGBTQ+ voices. Staff Training & Culture: Our staff receives ongoing training in cultural competency and inclusive practices to ensure that every member and guest feels welcome and respected. Youth & Family Support: We provide inclusive programming for youth and families, with affirming spaces in our preschool, afterschool, and camp programs. Visible Allyship: You’ll see it in our signage, our partnerships, our programming, and our staff—clear, unapologetic support for LGBTQ+ inclusion. Community Collaboration: We’re proud to partner with organizations like Keshet and JCRC to promote equity and justice for LGBTQ+ people across the Bay Area and beyond. Whether you’re here to work out, learn, celebrate, or connect—we’re here to welcome you with open arms and open hearts.

The PJCC is more than just a community center. We're a place where people of all backgrounds come together to connect, grow, and feel at home. We offer a wide range of programs for every stage of life, from early childhood and family programming to fitness, arts, adult education, and vibrant Jewish life programming. Our community is proudly multigenerational, multicultural, and mission-driven, rooted in Jewish values and open to all. Whether you're looking for a welcoming space to work out, a meaningful way to celebrate holidays, inclusive programming for your family, or just a warm community to belong to—you’ll find it here. We’re located in the heart of Foster City, but our reach and relationships extend across San Mateo County and beyond. Come as you are—we’re ready to welcome you.
