JCI OTA To provide leadership development opportunities that empower young people to create positive change. One year to shine. One year of impact. One year to lead

The JCI Vision

To be the leading global network of young active citizens. The JCI 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
An

d that service to humanity is the best work of life. Making a World of Difference

There is a limit to what governments are able to achieve in society. As responsible citizens in a globalized world, JCI members take on the challenges around them through local development initiatives. These tailored projects require members to use strategic planning and critical planning to craft creative solutions to the problems of their communities. Be Better

JCI members seek ways to live out our slogan, Be Better. We think critically about society’s greatest challenges and act on behalf of our communities to be part of the solution. We seek better solutions to build better communities, creating a better future. The Original Active Citizens

As global citizens, we all have rights and responsibilities, as well as shared goals. Through active citizenship, we enact our sense of social responsibility to work towards these goals and benefit communities worldwide. Our Founder, Henry Giessenbier, was the original active citizen. He took steps to engage young people in civic involvement in 1914, and JCI members worldwide have followed his lead ever since. A Grassroots Movement with International Scope

In JCI, the action is local, but our principles and impact are global. Members understand that in a globalized world, their local actions echo across the globe. 5,000 JCI Local Organizations addressing problems in their communities are united in a global movement creating global impact. One Year to Lead

With this principle at its core, the JCI structure offers leadership opportunities to new members each year.

A MOMENT TO REMEMBER. A GENERATION TO EMPOWER.💙

Yesterday, we had an impactful and fulfilling time with the students of Ijoko Lemode ACDA at the Leadership Development Summit.

Through inspiring conversations, practical leadership lessons, and meaningful connections, we explored leadership, personal development, and the skills needed to learn, grow, and create impact.

As young leaders, we believe in giving back to our communities and creating opportunities for the next generation to learn, grow, and lead. Yesterday was a beautiful reflection of that belief. 💙

Here’s a look back at the moments, energy, connections, and memories that made it special.

And that's a wrap from Sandra for International Youth Day! 🎉✨

Being young isn't about age, it's about choosing to grow, serve, and add value wherever we are. The future isn't just ahead of us... we're building it right now. 😎🔥

Here's to every young person learning, leading, and making an impact their own way.

Happy International Youth Day from JCI Ota!

WE ARE NOT LAZY YOUTHS.

Today, we celebrate the energy, creativity, resilience and potential of young people everywhere.

As young people, we're often reminded of what we're yet to achieve, but today, we pause to recognise what we're already doing. From building careers & businesses to creating solutions, volunteering, leading communities, and showing up daily to make a difference. Our impact is real.

At JCI Ota, we're proud to be part of a generation not waiting for permission to create change.

To every young person striving to make a difference, no matter how big or small your contribution may seem, we see you, we celebrate you, and we believe in your capacity to create impact.

Your turn: Record your own video. Tell us how you impact society, tag us, and use the hashtag.

Happy International Youth Day!
