JSA Jewish Senior Alliance

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

The JSA is growing in membership, leadership and its capacity to successfully plan, fund and facilitate the delivery of programs and services important to Jewish Seniors and their families.

The JSA sees itself as only one of the voices of the Jewish Seniors Community, albeit an important one, and therefore strives to work and cooperate with all agencies and parties having a stake in matters affecting Jewish Seniors in the Lower Mainland. The JSA has 500 individual and institutional members.

The JSA funds its office and programs from membership dues, grant applications and has received program funding from:
