  • A community partner with government, private funders, other nonprofits, and for-profit businesses.
  • Driven by the spirit, commitment, and hard work of our volunteers and staff.

JCA Strategic Plan

JCA is developing a new strategic plan. It will focus on the following areas:

  • Working towards a world where older adults in the Greater Washington, DC region thrive by maintaining dignity, vitality, and independence
  • Providing services that enable older adults to age in a positive way and that support their family members
  • Serving all older adults and their families in the greater Washington, DC region, inclusive of all faiths and backgrounds
  • Offering access to person-centered, positive aging programs through a combination of our own direct services, our referral network, and regional partnerships

We will achieve this through balanced financial stewardship, broadening the service experience of our clients, developing replicable programs, and pursuing strategic partnerships.

JCA will be closed in celebration of Rosh Hashanah starting at 3:00 PM on October 2 through October 3 and 4.

This will close in 15 seconds
