The Jewish Community Council of Greater Coney Island (also known as JCCGCI) is a private not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization founded in 1973 to provide a wide range of social services to South Brooklyn's low income residents and to foster neighborhood stabilization. During the past decade the council has experienced extraordinary growth and became the central address for services of all segments of the population including the aged, the vocationally disadvantaged poor, refugees, and educationally at-risk youth. In addition, the council provides non-profit community based organizations with technical assistance in upgrading their management capacity. This program is a project of the Jewish Community Council of Greater Coney Island, funded by Citymeals on Wheel in New York City. Our volunteer program services homebound individuals and volunteers in and around the Brooklyn area.
