THANK YOU to those of you who continue to reach out to the AHCCC inquiring about when the facility will reopen!  At this time, the AHCCC remains closed while the JPA Board of Directors work with the cities of Agoura Hills and Calabasas to establish a reopening plan.  Planning for a reopening, the JPA Board faces many challenges including financial, maintenance, and staffing issues. If you have any questions regarding the AHCCC, please feel free to email info@ahccc.org.  Again, thank you to the community for their support!

The AHCCC is still CLOSED at this time.  It is not accepting reservations, registrations, memberships, or drop-ins uses at this time.  Please do not attempt to register for a program, sign-up for a membership, or create a reservation. There is no set date for reopening at this time.  Please keep checking this website for updates. 

JUNE 21, 2021

On June 21, 2021, the State lifted many restrictions that were put in place to deal with the COVID-19 crisis. Although these restrictions were lifted, the AHCCC remains CLOSED at this time. The JPA Board of Directors continues to work through the financial challenges that the crisis brought with it.  The City of Calabasas recently announced its plans to begin some much-needed maintenance and repair work on the roof.  This work will take several months, which will delay a potential reopening even further.  Please continue to check here for updates on the future reopening of the AHCCC.

MAY 24, 2021

Although restrictions begin to be lifted in LA County and throughout the State, the AHCCC continues to be closed to the public. The AHCCC JPA Board of Directors is currently working through a reopening plan and hopes to have updates shortly.

The AHCCC hosted the FOUR Cities Vaccine Clinic today, in cooperation with Albertsons Pharmacy.  It was a two-dose clinic that provided almost 2,000 vaccinations for local community members!  Thank you to all the volunteers and city staff who helped in the effort!

January 6, 2020

The Agoura Hills/ Calabasas Community Center continues to be closed due to health regulations. At this time, we do not have a date for when or how we will be able to resume operations. We appreciate your patience and hope to be able to serve you again in 2021. Memberships continue to be on hold and we are not able to take any deposits for future events or programs at this time. 

December 11, 2020

It seems like a lifetime ago that we celebrated our 20th anniversary, yet, today on our 21st anniversary things are so different. We have had to remain shuttered since March 14, 2020 and still do not know when, if, and how Community Centers will be allowed to reopen. This is the season of hope and togetherness and I truly hope that this message sees you safe and able to celebrate the season in new and special ways. Thank you for being a part of our journey in this crazy year and keep the hope alive for us to be able to open again soon.   

November 17, 2020

To our trusted members, business partners, instructors, and participants:

I hope that this message finds you and your families safe during these crazy times. I can truly say we miss having you at our facility. We have some sad news, during our closure the Community Center has had to deplete its savings. In all truth, we may not be able to return without some significant support from the Community. As most of you know, L.A. County continues to be in the most restrictive category for reopening and with numbers surging, places like ours are on the last list to reopen. When facilities have been reopened in other parts of the state and country, they look very different. Smaller numbers, limited use and hours, no group gatherings, limited staffing, increased maintenance and supplies are just some of the major changes we will be facing. As a large facility and one that is almost 21 years old, there continues to be capital improvement items that need to be addressed and we need a strong funding base to be able to offset costs if we are able to reopen.

As you may know Giving Tuesday is coming up on December 1, 2020 this year. Our non-profit arm has set up a donation button on our website if you are interested in “Supporting the Center” during these tumultuous times. The Community Center Alliance would like to remind everyone that there is no limit on charitable giving during 2020. Please note that donations to the cause unfortunately cannot guarantee that we will be able to reopen. The CCA encourages you to give if you are able to and want to support the center. Please click here for the donation button.

In closing, this is a time of year is for being thankful and I want to thank you all for your patronage, your friendships, your smiles, the community and its strong spirit, the league and class participants, and our members for allowing the Community Center to be a large part of your lives for the past twenty years. It has been the Community Center’s honor and pleasure to serve you and I do hope that we will be able to do so again in the future.

Wishing you a safe and happy holiday season!

Sincerely,

Brianne Anderson

Executive Director, AHCCC

Agoura Hills/Calabasas Community Center To Temporarily Close with an Anticipated Re-Opening in January 2021  

The Board of Directors of the Agoura Hills/Calabasas Community Center Joint Powers Authority met on Thursday, May 21, 2020 at 6:30 pm to discuss the financial status of the Community Center and the potential for an extended temporary closure. After reviewing the Center’s major losses during the COVID-19 Pandemic and the liabilities that the Center will be responsible for in the next six months, the Board made the terribly hard decision to temporarily shut down operations as of June 1, 2020, with an anticipated re-opening in January 2021. Regularly scheduled programs will not be held during the temporary closure; however, the Center is working on alternate solutions for all programs and will keep the participants and the public updated as these decisions are made. The JPA Board of Directors wants to make sure that the community is aware that this measure was not taken lightly and was approved with the hope of seeing the Center fully operational in the future. It has been a wonderful asset to the community over the past 20 years, and the Board is fighting to make sure that it will continue to be so despite the financial hardships it has undergone.

During the time that the Center doors are closed, the JPA Board of Directors, the Executive Director, and the two cities will work together to revitalize the Center with a plan that is sustainable and best serves the communities’ current and future needs. The JPA Board of Directors and staff want the community to be involved in this process and are looking for the community to share ideas, programs, and needs with the Board to help them make sure that the Center can remain a vital piece of the community. Please reach out to Brianne Anderson, Executive Director at brianne@ahccc.org to share comments regarding the Center in 2021 and beyond. Please make sure to follow our website and social media for meeting updates and additional opportunities to get involved in the process.

Refunds continue to be issued for any pending events, programs, memberships, camps, and security deposits. Memberships will continue to be placed on hold during this time and no charges will be made for anyone in our system.

For specific questions you may have regarding the temporary closure or if you would like to support the Agoura Hills/Calabasas Community Center during this time, please reach out to the Executive Director at brianne@ahccc.org. Community members may also visit the Center’s website at www.ahccc.org for meeting and status updates.
