Since 1970, the Palisades Community Center (PCC) has been home to the Palisades community for  classes and charitable events, social events and meetings.  It is managed solely by volunteers and it receives no state or local tax funding.  We rely exclusively on membership, donations, rentals and grants, which are vital to our operations, educational programming and capital improvements.


Our Mission

Our mission is to offer educational programming, charitable giving opportunities and community support for the Palisades community and the community-at-large. We also serve to maintain and care for the Palisades schoolhouse built in 1870 that is central to our community.
