Life at JCC

You'll find a variety of resources and services at Jamestown Community College to help you succeed in college life and reach your higher education goals.

JCC's veterans' clubs on each campus provide a friendly and engaging environment to interact with your peers who may share many of the same struggles, excitement, concerns, and interests. Our veterans' clubs aim to assist in the transition from soldier to civilian and student by providing support, resources, activities, and camaraderie for our returning military men and women and their family members and significant others.
