Advocacy
Civic engagement, voter awareness, and community leadership.
JCCNV operates as a non-partisan civic voice for the Jamaican community in Nevada — building leaders, informing voters, and partnering with state and local agencies on issues that affect our families.
Our Approach
As a §501(c)(3) public charity, JCCNV does not endorse political candidates and limits lobbying activities to those permitted by federal law. Our advocacy work focuses on educating community members about civic rights and opportunities — not advancing party platforms.
Programs
- Civic Education Workshops — quarterly sessions on Nevada voting laws, civic rights, and pathways to public service.
- Voter Awareness Drives — non-partisan registration and education events in Clark County.
- Community Leadership Development — mentoring emerging community leaders for nonprofit, civic, and public-sector roles.
- Coalition Partnerships — collaboration with Nevada agencies, nonprofits, and faith communities on shared priorities.
Issues We Track
- Access to education and scholarship opportunities for Jamaican-American students
- Senior services and aging-in-place support
- Immigration and naturalization information resources
- Cultural representation in Nevada's civic life
- Health equity in Las Vegas-area communities
