NCJCL's State Convention takes place over the course of a day and a half and includes many of the same contests as the NJCL's annual convention. NCJCL even offers a few unique to our state, such as the Poetry and Skit Contests. In addition to contests, NCJCL offers workshops for students' enrichment, as well as opportunities for fellowship with their peers. The election for NCJCL State Officers also occurs at this event.
This year, NCJCL will be hosting our convention simultaneously with several other state JCL’s, including New Jersey, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. State Convention will have events that are specific to North Carolina, as well as events that allow JCLers to engage and interact with students from other states.
