Junior Chamber International (JCI) is a grassroots movement of young active citizens ages 18 to 40 who are dedicated to creating positive change in our respective communities around the world. We empower young people by developing their skills, knowledge and understanding. These young people have the confidence to stand up, make informed decisions and lead their communities to take concrete action towards sustainable impact.
In 5000 communities across nearly 120 countries, our members are recognized
for embracing new ideas, collaboration and diversity, and are equipped to address
the most critical challenges of our time. As we empower and inspire young active
citizens, our global network will grow and create a better tomorrow.
Our Slogan
Developing Leaders for a Changing World.
Our Mission

Our Vision
To be the leading global network of young active citizens.
Our Values
That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life;
That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations;
That economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise;
That government should be of laws rather than of men;
That earth’s great treasure lies in human personality;
And that service to humanity is the best work of life.
"Earth's Greatest Treasure Lies in Human Personality"
We are curious and inquisitive about how to be better global citizens in this changing world. Some of the questions we have:
How can I make a difference in my life and community?
Why do I care about being better? What does that even mean?
Where can I learn from a diverse community and have some fun along the way?
“Service to Humanity is the Best Work of Life”
Our organization raises awareness and funds for causes in communities across the globe. Whether it's volunteering for Toys for Tots so that kids in need have presents to wake up to on Christmas morning or throwing large scale festivals like Venetian Fest or Brat Days. The end goal is always to improve the quality of life in the communities around us.
"Brotherhood of Man Transcends the Sovereignty of Nations"
Ask any of our members and they will tell you numerous stories of all the lifelong friendships they have built through JCI. Some close to home and some even being international friendships. Different cultures, beliefs, and geographies but the same values.
Our shared values are the foundation of our organization and lifelong relationships.
