Mittleman Jewish Community Center

The reason for the two stars is that I was treated aggressive when entering the community center by Rodger Cross manager through OSPS. Mr. Cross rudely yelled "Whatever", to me after asking for his card. He made me feel uncomfortable. He wears a full uniform looking like a police officer. This was not my families first account with Mr. Cross, my son which is a Black male teenager was treated aggressive by him for looking into the community center as well. I thought that my son was over reacting until I experienced his behavior too. I am a from a educated strong Black family that has been trained on equity, equality and cultural bias behavior: BSU, Sisters in Strength, Washington DC Lobbing over student rights, speaking in front of the city council (over police officers lacking effective communication with low income people and people of color), Featured in the State of Black Oregon and Urban League Cohort 2015. My son has been involved in Word is Bond for 4yrs and was personally trained on police engagement by PPB and equity throughout our community. This venue is a way to express my feelings without having to figure out the system at MJC. I am now a member and will continue to be one but with the knowledge of knowing that I dont feel safe with him around. I think people should read this so they too can acknowledge the aggressive behavior from Mr. Cross. We Have To Take Care Of One Another. Respect and provide the same equity to all!!!!!! The main desk and workers within the community center were WONDERFUL. They would get 5 stars.

Nice staff & facilities. Recommend looking into membership if you enjoy swimming, gym equipment, squash, basketball, rock climbing, etc.

I come here for their Gym Services. The locker is clean and has many wonderful amenities, probably the best locker room I have visited. They don't have much gym equipment, but it is in good repair, they have one of each thing basically, and plenty of cardio machines. Pool is great, and often bring in large pool floats to play on!

Nice facility. It was great to see security at the front! Felt secure. I don’t know if they are armed or not but it would be nice if they were. Just great atmosphere.
