The Soref JCC was incorporated as the Jewish Community Center of Greater Fort Lauderdale, Inc. on January 11, 1977. The JCC initially operated from the first floor of the Jewish Federation of Fort Lauderdale's building at 2999 NW 33rd Ave. In 1979 the JCC bought the 16-acre Florida Air Academy property in Plantation, Florida that today serves as our main campus for serving the Broward County community.
