- We are a co-op, fully supported by the volunteer activities of our members. In addition to the $20 annual membership registration fee, members donate two hours or more of their time to CFJ efforts each month. There about 50 different kinds of tasks that can fulfill this requirement. See the Board leadership for details.
- We are not lawyers and do not provide legal advice. If you need the services of an attorney, we do not have a referral service. We are a community of parents, grandparents, and citizens who support each other with the best of our experience and friendship. Many of our members represent themselves all the way up to the New Mexico Supreme Court and Federal Court. We advocate that our members use their own judgment and discernment when making decision regarding their cases.
- Below are the activities that we provide for the benefit of our members.
