"A global network of young active citizens, JCI (Junior Chamber International) empowers its members to create positive change in their communities through training, networking, andcommunity service. "
"Amidst the challenges of the 21st century, ranging from climate change to social inequality, Junior Chamber International (JCI) stands out as a dynamic and proactive organization dedicated to empowering young people to become active citizens who can contribute to creating positive changein their communities. By offeringa widearray ofopportunities for personal and professional development, including workshops, community service projects, and international conferences, JCI not only nurtures the potential of individual members but also acts as a catalyst for global progress. As members engage in these transformative experiences, they develop adeeper understandingofglobalissues, hone their leadership skills, and forge international connections, thereby becoming more equipped and motivated to initiate sustainable solutions within their communities. This holistic approach to youth empowerment underscores JCI's commitment to building a better world, demonstrating the organization's belief that the collective action and passion of young leaders canindeed shapeabrighter futurefor all.
“Be Better” is a slogan that embodies the spirit that all JCI members shareand the purpose statedinour Mission
Creative Young Entrepreneur (CYE) program is an international competition with a single main objective: To motivate and inspire enterprising youngleaders. Thecoreof theCYE programis for young leaders to showcase their up and runningbusinesses.
CYE challenges young entrepreneurs to critically and creatively think by requiring them to provide an in depth business plan, their marketing position, and strategic goals on how their venture will begin to earn a profit and become sustainable, all the while providing theopportunity ofhaving that plan reviewedby delegatedexperts.
“DevelopingLeaders for aChangingWorld”
The aim of JCI is to develop its members into enterprising
young leaders. Our member’s mission is to bring about
economicand societalgrowth.
Both goals are accomplished through long-term actions
that welink toour Four Areas ofOpportunity.
“EconomicandSocietalGrowth”
Creating projects that help the community and are anchored in economic reality, providing long-term, sustainable solutions through the JCI
RISEinitiative. Allows members toexplore what
they are most passionate about, and address the problem in a methodical and pragmatic
manner, using theJCIActionFramework.
“Four Areas of Opportunity” is what separates JCI from
other organizations. This is our unique and flexible
approach towards leadership development. Leaders in our
organization become skilled in four essential areas of
opportunity in equal measure: Individual, Community, InternationalandBusiness.
We value thediverseinterests and talents ofour members, and through these key areas, we empower them to follow

Helvetica Neue font necessary to create JCI National and Local Organization logos and official JCI documents (letterhead, business cards, envelopes, etc) are:
Where Helvetica Neue is unavailable, Arial must be used. The JCI logo must always appear in Helvetica
Neue. RockwellBoldmay be usedas anaccent to the
HelveticaNeuefamily. Rockwell shouldonly be used for largeitems suchas headings and pull quotes.
Impact in theNew Millennium
Theearly 2000’s reinvigorated the senseofactivecitizenship and grassroots initiatives throughout the organization; members refocused projects and efforts around the JCI Mission. In 2004, JCI committed to advance the Millennium Development Goals created by the United Nations. This set of eight global development goals ranged from eradicating extreme hunger and poverty to combating HIV/AIDS and malaria. Through 2015, the target deadline, JCI members continued to organize projects focused on advancing these goals by taking action at the local level. Toincrease the quantity of projects that result in sustainable solutions, the General Assembly of the 2010 JCI World Congress adopted the JCI Active Citizen Framework, a roadmap of actionable, results-driven steps to produce sustainableimpact.
The JCI Active Citizen Framework has helped drive projects by first conductingcommunity needs analysis, thencollaborating with stakeholders toformulatea sustainable solutionand takeaction.
JCI’s story begins withHenry Giessenbier Jr., a young man living in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, during a time of incredible growth and change. Giessenbier recognized the talents and passions of the young people around him, and envisioned the positive change they
could create if they had the right resources.
To provide these tools, in 1915 he founded the first JCI movement in the St. Louis area. What began as a local movement spread quickly, and with enthusiasm. Young people across the United States and then across the globe joined together to create positive forces in their communities on a local, nationalandinternational scale.
Giessenbier saw JCIas anorganization that couldharness theenergy of young leaders to overcome a variety of civic challenges. JCI members would have the opportunity to develop as individuals, contribute to the prosperity of economic infrastructure through entrepreneurship, understand and appreciate the social dynamics that enable community problem-solving and promote goodwill, cooperation and understanding amongst all people. That enduring visionlives on through theorganization today.
