COJO Flatbush was established 44 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 25,000 clients have received over 58,000 services through COJO Flatbush programs.
HOW WE DO IT
