COJO Flatbush was established 45 years ago as a multi-faceted, non-sectarian, non-profit social service agency ready to respond to the concerns and needs of our community.
HOW WE ARE DOING
This year alone over 26,000 clients have received over 60,000 services through COJO Flatbush programs.
HOW WE DO IT
