Our History & Mission

The Jewish Communal Professionals of Southern California (JCPSC) organization was formed in 1975. Its goal was to create an interdisciplinary professional community within Jewish communal service in Los Angeles. 

At the founding, the name was “Southern California Conference of Jewish Communal Service.” This was changed to JCPSC several years later, to better reflect the work of members as professionals in the Jewish community.

JCPSC’s mission today, as in the past, includes continuing education, professional development, mentoring, and networking.

JCPSC is affiliated with the JPro Network: Education. Connect. Inspire.
