How CSA has supported our efforts

For almost 10 years, generous funding from Community Service Association, San Diego Unified School District has helped maintain the JCC's Youth & Camp Department and has provided opportunities for significant programmatic growth. Grants from CSA have included those for gardening; musical instruments to help build the JCC's music program; indoor cubbies to store backpacks, lunchboxes, and other items for our campers during winter, spring, summer, and holiday camps, and students enrolled in after-school enrichment.

The award-winning Inclusion Department at the JCC affords opportunities for children with special nees and/or disabilities to take part in youth and camp programs alongside their typically developing peers. CSA donation play a large part in ensuring the continued success of this program.
