Just Communities Central Coast

Based on multiple factors, including insufficient funding, structural deficits and changes in the external environment, Just Communities Central Coast (JCCC)s Staff and Board of Directors have decided, with a very heavy heart, to close the organization effective August 31, 2022. More than twenty years ago, JCCC emerged as one of the leading social justice organizations in our Tri-County region and we are exceedingly proud of our impact on the community, especially in the areas of education justice and language justice. In collaboration with youth, families, educators and many other local organizations, JCCC worked tirelessly to help close the achievement and opportunity gaps and inequalities throughout the areas we served, particularly in the Santa Barbara Unified School District (SB Unified). Thousands of students, teachers, staff, and administration officials benefited from JCCC-led educational experiences on implicit bias, racism, sexism, heterosexism, class privilege, and other forms of oppression and injustice.
