ORANGE COUNTY

The JABA OC committee strives to provide a place to come together for various social, networking, educational, and volunteer-oriented opportunities in the Orange County area. The committee will plan events specifically focused on the needs of those in the OC area so you no longer have to drive up to Downtown LA to be a part of JABA!

​

Be a part of this growing JABA segment by attending one of our quarterly committee meetings to help shape what kind of events there should be for our JABA OC members!
