A little background
As a member of the NJCA, you join professional counselors across New Jersey in a variety of settings who are making a difference. Many of you may not be aware but NJCA is run almost entirely by volunteers, all of whom are LPCs, LACs, students, counselor educators, or retirees. NJCA cannot achieve its mission without these important volunteers. Therefore, we encourage you to get involved in NJCA by participating on the NJCA Board, or on one of the various committees. We also welcome your involvement in our Divisions which may help to strengthen your knowledge in your area of specialization.
