All-Gender Restrooms
The JCCSF is proud to offer public all-gender restrooms located on the second floor. Gender-specific restrooms remain located on the first and third floors. We welcome everyone to use the restroom in which they feel most comfortable.
We continually look for opportunities to make people feel comfortable in this community gathering place, and affirm our values of being inclusive and welcoming advocates. Having all-gender restrooms available can make a meaningful impact to a lot of different people.
We Want to Hear Your Feedback
Your opinion matters. If you have questions or feedback about the restroom options, please email info@jccsf.org or speak to our staff at the Front Desk.
