About JCFamilies Inc.

“Community is much more than belonging to something; it’s about doing something together that makes belonging matter.” — Brian Solis.

Started in 2010, JCFamilies is dedicated to serving the families of Jersey City and the surrounding areas. We concur heartily with what Princess Diana once said – “Family is the most important thing in the world.” JCFamilies provide resources and information for the residents in the area. We bring families together to form one strong community. 

JCFamilies provides essential resources and support to families to connect in the community. We proudly serve a fast-growing community of savvy local parents from diverse backgrounds.

 JCFamilies is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and your donation is tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.

JCFamilies membership is FREE.

How do we connect Families:

ONLINE: JCFamilies is the largest and fastest-growing parent society in Jersey City. More than 60,000 local parents connect with us across JCFamilies properties: website, Instagram, Facebook, and newsletter.

EVENTS: There is usually one big event per month. Most of the events are free and are organized in public parks. We invite local businesses to participate in the events, helping them connect directly with the families. These events are attended to capacity and feature food, music, and entertainment. Some of our popular event highlights include magic shows, music shows, storytime, and outdoor sports.

Here are a few of the events that have successfully continued every year:

Education Fair:  Over 40 education businesses participate in this event. This event is mutually beneficial for the local parents and the education businesses since it offers a platform for parents to connect with the school’s representatives directly to explore available options for their kids. 

Annual Mother’s Day Celebration: Mother’s Day is celebrated by pampering our moms and entertaining the kids. A perfect combo that is popular with our families. 

Halloween: Our Halloween Parade is the biggest in the area. An impressive group of drummers and stilt walkers leads the parade. This procession attracts a large crowd every year, making it a highlight of the community’s festivities. Needless to say, it is very popular with children.

Harvest Festival and Cultural Diversity Festival in Jersey City: Jersey City prides itself on its diversity. We celebrate this diversity and the multi-cultural populace of the city with the Harvest Festival and Cultural Diversity Festival. In this event, we have varied cultural showcases from different parts of the world. We also celebrate the fall season with food, music, and activities for the kids. 

Educational Booklets: We annually print two educational paper booklets: One includes most of the summer camp programs offered by local schools and summer camps places, and another is for education programs offered by local daycares, public schools, private schools, and charter schools. This educational paper booklet has been circulated in most of the area’s highrise buildings and commercial establishments. 

With so much to offer, JCFamilies invites all families from Jersey City and the adjoining areas to come and join us!
