Jewish Centers Set Goals to Avoid Summer Closure
- Share via
Children’s programs at four Los Angeles Jewish community centers slated for closure this summer could remain open another year if the centers meet strict enrollment and fund-raising goals, organization officials said Wednesday.
Jewish Community Centers of Greater Los Angeles announced plans in December to terminate the after-school, kindergarten and preschool programs on June 30 to make up for a financial shortfall. The sites included North Valley in Granada Hills, Valley Cities in Sherman Oaks, Silver Lake-Los Feliz and Los Angeles’ Westside.
On Wednesday, the centers’ board of directors announced a business plan, crafted with local community center leaders, to boost enrollment and revenues that could keep the children’s program afloat through June 2003.
