Upcoming events

  • JCEO recognizes the 11 Federal Holidays, and all locations close for or in observance of those dates. Additionally, offices are closed on the day after Thanksgiving and the day before Christmas. Occasionally, some locations will close due to inclement weather - please check our Facebook page for up-to-date information on weather or emergency related closures.

  • JCEO hosts or participates in several fundraising events throughout the year. Many events repeat on a reoccurring basis.

    Some of the larger events include:

    • the Plattsburgh Cards & Collectible event, which takes place every May and October

    • the Charity Golf Tournament, which takes place every August

    • the CPKC Holiday Train, which takes place late November/early December every year

  • JCEO has a Board of Directors that meet monthly to discuss agency needs and goals. Full board meetings take place at 9am on the third Tuesday of each month (except for April, August, and December) at JCEO’s administrative office in Plattsburgh.

  • A handful of times each year, JCEO offices close for a day so all staff members can participate in Agency All Staff meetings, where staff participate in teambuilding exercises, share lunch, and receive important training and organizational updates.

  • In the calendar you can also find a variety of other agency events, including:

    • Community Action Day, which takes place every May
