There are numerous clubs and organizations at JJC. They offer almost unlimited opportunities for students to become acquainted with other students, develop leadership skills and interact with others who share similar interests.
Chartering of new clubs occurs at Collegiate Club Council meetings in October and February. We are limited to 45 clubs being chartered due to budget restrictions.
Students attempting to start new clubs have two opportunities to reserve space and promote activities prior to initial chartering. This gives new students a chance to determine interest. Contact Pam Dilday at pdilday@jjc.edu or Amy Sims at asims@jjc.edu to make space arrangements.
