Membership in the NCJC

For a group to become a member of the coalition, a membership application must be submitted to the coordination group. The coordination group processes the applications, decides to approve or dismiss, and gets back to the group. It is the responsibility of the coordination group to assure that the body that sends the application has the mandate to do so.

The application must state if the group wants to be a tier 1 or tier 2 member:

Tier 1

  • All of the tier 2 things

  • Can vote at annual meetings 

  • Must send at least 2 representatives to the annual meeting

  • Required to contribute actively to coalition work, with at least one person participating in a working group. Contributions should reflect the group’s size and capacity.

  • Must designate one contact person to maintain regular communication with the coordination group and coordinate resource sharing.

  • Can request coalition funds for actions/events organized as part of NCJC.

  • Can apply for external grants on behalf of the coalition and retain up to 80% of the funds (subject to coordination group approval).

Tier 2
