By joining CJC, you ensure the workforce development ecosystem has the advocacy, training, and collaboration it needs to thrive. Without CJC, there would be fewer opportunities to challenge inequitable systems, convene diverse voices, and equip practitioners with the tools to drive meaningful change. Membership not only sustains this essential work but also connects you to a community that multiplies your impact and strengthens the movement toward a more equitable future.
What Our Members Say
The professional development offered has been key to building expertise on our team. We had so have been able to network with other organizations through CJC.
CJC is invaluable because they are able to collect experiences of organizations that truly care about helping residents of Chicago and synthesize them for sharing and discussion and training that help others to design progamming and build capacity.
Convenings and trainings designed to share ideas and strategies for organizations like ours.
Our CJC membership has been very helpful. The courses have assisted in staff growth. The newsletters keep us informed and updated, and roundtable discussions have been wonderful.
CJC has helped us stay connected to policy and impacts for populations outside of those our org serves and has supported and trained at least 3-4 staff each year through the workshops hosted.
The community is a place where ideas are exchanged, challenges are tackled together, and relationships are built that go beyond just networking—it’s about true support and shared success.
