General Membership

What is it?

Cal Japan Club is excited to announce the launch of our General Membership program starting Fall 2024! From restaurant discounts, drink tickets, to career planning services, we will be offering our membership starting from $15/semester. For returning members, the renewal fee would be $10/semester after the first semester.

In addition, we are also launching our CJC family cohorts, an opportunity to interact with CJC officers and other General Members in a smaller-scale, intimate setting. We look forward to receiving your applications!

Family System

​As a General Member of CJC, the Family System is designed to foster community and engagement among members through collaborative activities and events.​

This system organizes members into families, each consisting of three CJC Officers and General Members. Each week, a designated team of officers is responsible for planning and executing a family event. These events can range from casual gatherings to more structured activities, and members are provided with a bingo sheet filled with ideas to inspire creativity and participation. The first family to complete their bingo sheet will receive the “Bingo Prize”, which can include options such as a pizza night, a trip to Japan town, or themed gift bags, thereby incentivizing engagement and friendly competition among families.

Please stay tuned as the details will be released in the Official GM Discord!
