The Jewish Community Center's history dates to 1855, when the Young Men's Hebrew and Literary Society was formed. In 1948 the agency relocated to the Jewish Children's Home at 5342 St. Charles Avenue and changed its name to the Jewish Community Center of New Orleans, and the present facility replaced that building in 1966. The JCC is built on Jewish values and welcomes everyone. The Uptown facility sits on St Charles Avenue, near De La Salle High School and Isidore Newman School, both about 0.2 miles away.
