About the MJCCA

The Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta (MJCCA) is committed to strengthening the quality of life in Atlanta and is recognized as one of the most highly-regarded Jewish community centers in the nation. Our NAEYC-accredited preschools, award-winning camps, outstanding cultural events, and invigorating sports and fitness programs engage and connect the community.

MJCCA History

The Marcus JCC has served our Atlanta community for more than 100 years. Originally founded in 1910 as the Jewish Educational Alliance, the Zaban Park site in Dunwoody was added in 1961. In 2000, Zaban Park became the main campus, and at that time, the agency was renamed the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta. We are now completing a $36 million Capital Campaign to add new programming spaces and upgrade the facilities to engage even more members of our diverse community.
