Our Mission To provide development opportunities that empower young people to create positive change.
Our Vision To be the leading organization 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.
We are a grassroots movement of young active citizens... Ages 18 to 40 who are dedicated to creating positive change in our communities around the world. In more than 5000 communities across nearly 120 countries, our members are recognized for embracing new ideas, collaboration and diversity. We demonstrate passion and courage to address the most critical challenges of our time. We empower young people by developing their skills, knowledge and understanding enabling them to stand up, make informed decisions and lead their community to take concrete action for sustainable impact.

We are individuals who see challenges, not as obstacles, but as opportunities. We have the audacity to stand up and take action for what is just. We more than often choose the difficult but right path to change the world. We do not only talk about how the world should look—we take grassroots action to make sure our vision becomes a reality. We work as one united team to create positive change—amplifying our global voice.

Driven by the ambition to develop communities, We examine our community’s greatest needs and identify their root causes. Together with all sectors of society, we design solutions that last and take grassroots action with a clear plan. While taking action, we measure and evaluate our results to understand our impact. This is the JCI Active Citizen Framework. This is how we transform community challenges into opportunities for empowerment, development and sustainable impact.
