The JCI Global Community
JCI is a worldwide com
munity of young active citizens ages 18-40 who share the belief that in order to create positive change, we must take collective action to improve ourselves and the world around us. Engaging in activities ranging from sustainable development to international projects, we take responsibility for our communities while improving ourselves through participation, leadership and action. Active Citizens
As global citizens, we all have rights and responsibilities. Active citizenship is the capacity we all have to work together towards our common goals. This spirit links JCI members: the sense of social responsibility and the initiative to take action
to benefit society. Be Better
JCI members constantly seek ways to live JCI’s
slogan, Be Better. JCI members think critically about existing problems to find sustainable solutions for a better future. We not only believe that improvement is possible in our communities and in ourselves, we believe it is our responsibility. The Original Active Citizens
JCI’s founder, Henry Giessenbier, Jr., decided to take responsibility for the progress of his community when he established JCI’s first Local organization in St. Louis, USA in 1915. When delegates from eight countries met in Mexico City in 1944, they agreed it was time to officially form Junior Chamber International (JCI). This tradition of uniting active citizens from diverse backgrounds fueled the JCI movement and set the groundwork for creating positive change that transcends boundaries.
