National Council of Jewish Women of Canada Toronto (NCJWC Toronto) is a non-profit, volunteer service organization of over 800 women who are dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals. NCJWC Toronto, established in 1897, has been a catalyst for change as well as a powerful pioneering force on behalf of children, youth, the elderly, families, the disabled, new Canadians and the disadvantaged. Over the years we have initiated many programs. When the projects grew too large, were proud to contribute the project to the community, including: Bernard Betel Centre for Creative Living, Block Parents, Junior Kindergarten (under the auspices of North York Board of Education), Jewish Camp Council, English As-A-Second-Language classes, services to the physically challenged and citizenship preparation.
