JCI RISE: Rebuilding, Investing, Sustaining, and Evolving

The JCI RISE program is a proactive initiative to address the global economic challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. It equips JCI members to become global changemakers by identifying local and national needs and developing realistic solutions that stimulate socio-economic growth.

The RISE initiative is a member-driven program that anchors JCI Philippines in the economic reality faced by Filipino communities, while enabling its members to work towards a unified future. It encourages JCI members to develop projects related to the three pillars of RISE:

1. Sustaining and rebuilding economies by supporting small, local businesses

2. Motivating the workforce through youth entrepreneurship

3. Preserving mental health and well-being

Through this initiative, JCI Philippines aims to be an active agent of positive change, empowering its members and communities to rebuild, invest, sustain, and evolve in the post-pandemic era.

The Creative Young Entrepreneurs (CYE) Competition is a pitch competition designed to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit in young leaders. It's a platform for showcasing up-and-running businesses and fostering innovation, creativity, and business acumen.

This program challenges young entrepreneurs to develop comprehensive business models, define their marketing strategies, and outline sustainable growth plans. CYE participants receive valuable mentorship and feedback from experts, regardless of their final ranking. This ensures all participants gain valuable insights and experience to enhance their ventures.

JCI Philippines is committed to supporting the UNSDGs, a global framework aimed at achieving prosperity, environmental protection, and peace by 2030. The UNSDG program empowers JCI Philippines Local Organizations to become leading advocates for the SDGs.

• Creating impactful projects: Equipping Local Organizations to develop sustainable projects aligned with the SDGs.

By actively promoting the SDGs, JCI Philippines empowers young leaders to address critical global challenges like poverty, climate change, and inequality.
