JCI Partners

With JCI’s wide-reaching goals to create economic and societal growth, the need for like-minded partnerships continues to grow. With the spirit of collaboration, we understand that by working together we can create change that is far more powerful and lasting than when working alone. Throughout 2021, we continued to develop and expand our network to include partnerships that uplift and empower young entrepreneurs.

When we collaborate and combine our knowledge, resources, and experience, we ensure that our goals and solutions to modern challenges are long-term and successful. JCI looks forward to future partnerships and collaborations that help boost JCI’s brand awareness, motivate our members and enhance our financial sustainability.
