The Four Pillars of JCI
Today’s global challenges require innovative and creative solutions. JCI empowers young people to become active citizens, take responsibility for global challenges in their community and identify targeted, sustainable solutions. Motivated by the passion to transform their community and the world, JCI members have the courage to address the most critical challenges of our time.
Take Action & Provide Sustainable Solutions
JCI is a nonprofit organization of young active citizens age 18 to 40 who are engaged and committed to creating impact in their communities. Active citizens are individuals invested in the future of our world. JCI gathers active citizens from all sectors of society. We develop the skills, knowledge and understanding to make informed decisions and take action.

JCI members have the opportunity to participate in several programs to further develop their leadership skills and earn recognition for their creative problem-solving. Some programs like JCI TOYP, Public Speaking, Debating, Twinning and Awards ceremony.
