Become a core COJA Member
Core Members take on leadership and administrative responsibilities while helping guide COJA’s projects and initiatives. They serve as mentors within the community and are expected to demonstrate a higher level of commitment to the organization. If you’re passionate about leadership, community service, and making a lasting impact, becoming a Core Member could be the perfect fit for you.
Become a Community Youth Partner (CYP)
Community Youth Partners (CYP) engages motivated youth between the ages of 15 & 30 who are interested in contributing to community projects, as a more flexible tier of COJA membership. This initiative takes into consideration factors such as: levels of commitment, age obligations, and leadership pressures, to accommodate factors which may limit appeal in committing to the core membership.
