The National Council of Jewish Women New York Section (NCJW NY) is a grassroots organization of volunteers and advocates who turn progressive ideals into action.  Inspired by Jewish values, NCJW strives for social justice by improving the quality of life for women, children, and families and by safeguarding individual rights and freedoms. 

NCJW NY strives to serve New Yorkers from all walks of life, from all racial and religious backgrounds.  All services are non-sectarian.  

Since its founding in 1894, NCJW NY has been at the forefront of social change, championing the needs of society’s most vulnerable citizens and taking stands on issues such as child welfare, reproductive rights, and immigration while also providing direct service to alleviate the effects of poverty and inequality.  Today, 120 years later, the need for our work remains as strong as ever.

NCJW NY operates vital community services and advocacy initiatives, impacting the lives of more than 40,000 New Yorkers.  Our programming includes an extensive hunger program; arts and enrichment programming for older adults; support groups for caregivers and for the bereaved; arts and literacy programs for children in economically disadvantaged communities; scholarships for students with physical challenges; as well as unique conferences, film festivals, and special events.   NCJW NY is also committed to vigorous and strategic advocacy on key mission-related issues, including women’s equality, nutrition assistance, and sex trafficking.  

NCJW NY embraces women and men of diverse backgrounds to come together to make a difference.   There are so many ways to get involved – as a volunteer, participant, donor, or supporter.  We offer volunteer opportunities from one-time commitments to ongoing leadership roles.  Please visit our website or contact us to find out how you can become a part of NCJW NY.
