Welcome, Parents and Leaders of Junior Joeys around the World!!!
We believe that children learn life skills, grow in confidence and learn how to treat people kindly as they learn about the ethics of clowning and how to work with people. Different skills taught in clowning can be stress reducing, focus strengthening and create neurological pathways that strengthen a child’s brain development.
We are here to help you learn the basics of clowning. Below are a few ways that you can access mentors and education. We hope you and your child will enjoy the process of growing in this funny art form we call Clowning.
Becoming a member: If you have a child that you would like to sign up as a junior joey contact the office to sign them up at a lower rate and make sure you give them a good current email so that you can get junior joey invites to zoom education and information from the Junior Joey Director.
Mentors: Contact Bob Gretton 301-455-8186 or email him at bunkytclown@comcast.net and tell him the Junior Joey Director sent you.
Pin Program: Is a program that you can purchase with twenty-four button/pins for kids or adults to earn and a book of criteria for each button/pin. Contact Regina for more information.
Free Books: On the tabs or what some people call the hamberger for this website go to the Education tab and you will see free books you can read and the education book on basic clowning 101.
The Vault: Check out the past magazines and read articles geared towards Junior Joeys. One day there just may be a compilation of all the articles.
Private Facebook Group: For members only ~ To join our Facebook community parents or guardians of the children must contact Regina Wollrabe personally on Facebook with a COAI member number for the child. She will then get the parent/guardian signed into the group. A place you can ask questions to the mentors who are in the group. (Call Regina at 503-807-2584 or text)
