Membership FAQs

  • SIJCC has been a central hub of Jewish and cultural life in East Los Angeles for over 75 years. After the closure of JCCLA in the early 2000s, our community came together to purchase the SIJCC building and become a fully independent organization. That means we alone are responsible for keeping the SIJCC financially strong and sustainable.

    Membership is one of the most important ways we do that. It helps build reliable, year-round income to fund the staff, programs, building maintenance, and community events that make SIJCC what it is today.

  • Great question! Both are essential—but they serve different purposes.

    Membership is an annual financial commitment that comes with year-round benefits: free or discounted event admission, program access (like Early Childhood Education or the Jewish Learning Center), and other perks. Membership helps cover our day-to-day operational costs—keeping the doors open and the lights on.

    Donations, on the other hand, are additional contributions that help SIJCC go above and beyond—funding special events capital improvements, and maintenance of our beautiful old buildings. Donations do not include membership benefits unless you also enroll as a member.

    In short:
    Membership keeps our community running. Donations help us grow and dream bigger.

  • Membership fees go toward essential operating expenses like:

    • Building maintenance and repairs

    • Staff salaries for our educators, program team, and facilities crew

    • Community-wide programs, festivals, and cultural events

    • Subsidizing tuition, program costs, and tickets so we can keep SIJCC affordable and accessible to more people

    Event tickets and tuition do not fully cover these costs. Membership and fundraising help fill the gap.

  • We offer four membership types. All required a 12-month commitment. 

    • Stakeholder Membership: $1,000 per year or $100 per month

    • Family Membership: $350 per year or $35 per month

    • Individual/Adult Membership: $125 per year or $15 per month 

    • Young Adult/Senior Membership: $50 per year or $8 per month

  • Membership benefits vary depending on your membership level, but in general, members receive:

    • Discounted member pricing for SIJCC programs and events (like Days of Awesome, Cabaret, and more)

    • Free admission to select community-wide events

    • Access to programs like the Early Childhood Education (ECE) program, Jewish Learning Center (JLC), Teen Group, and East Side Jews Book Club (where applicable)
