WNC's Community Organization for Policy Advocacy (COPA) is organizing to empower our community members to engage in meaningful dialogue and collaborative action to influence policies that directly impact our lives and our children's future. Together, we hope to drive positive change and build a brighter future for WNC.

COPA empowers residents of Jackson County, NC to address community challenges through education, advocacy, and collaborative action.

COPA envisions a Jackson County where every resident is informed, engaged, and empowered to shape a community that is safe, resilient, and united. We strive for a future where neighbors work together across differences to protect rights, support vulnerable populations, and ensure that every voice contributes to the well-being and strength of our shared home.
