About COJA

Who are we?

The Club Opti-Jeunesse des Jeunes Adultes (COJA) is a young-adult-led community service organization that is an operationally independent “club within a club” of Club Opti-Jeunesse Beaconhill Inc. We are a team of passionate youth who use our unique passion, energy, and perspective to help our community.

Our Mission

Our mission is to foster growth through community service, helping young people work towards their ambitions by serving others. We believe that when projects, roles, and responsibilities are effectively built, community service can help youth develop the personal and professional skills needed to excel in the real world. We are constantly working towards an Ottawa where any young person can develop themselves through this type of community service.
