President of the CCCJA at Cambrian College. The Cambrian College Criminal Justice Association (CCCJA) is an organization that is associated with the College’s Justice programs. We provide students with an opportunity to gain leadership and practical skills through volunteer activities throughout the community. This is a student run organization that promotes growth of the individual as a team player and leader.
