WHO WE ARE Our approximately 250 active and sustaining members reflect a wide range of backgrounds, interests, and professional pursuits. We are accomplished collaborators who identify community needs and develop effective and responsive programs to serve those needs. Headquartered at historic Wayside Cottage in Scarsdale, NY, the JLCW has served the communities of Eastchester, Greenburgh, Scarsdale and White Plains for over 65 years. Our purpose is exclusively educational and charitable. WHAT WE DO The JLCW has been building better communities for more than 65 years. Each year, members contribute an average of 5,000 hours of service to the communities of Eastchester, Greenburgh, Scarsdale, and White Plains.
