WHAT JCI IS AND IS NOT

It’s not a charity

but it does provide members with the opportunity and tools to make meaningful changes to the world around them through long-term projects that boost economic and societal growth.

It’s not a school for professional trainers

but it does enable members to make enormous personal and professional developments.

It’s not a social club or business networking organization

but being a member of JCI opens the door to countless opportunities for friendships and partnerships across hundreds of industries.
