Honoring Our Roots. Celebrating Our Legacy.
Today, 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟯, we celebrate 𝗝𝗖𝗜 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆, honoring the vision of our founder, 𝗛𝗲𝗻𝗿𝘆 𝗚𝗶𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗯𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗝𝗿., whose belief in the potential of young people sparked a movement that continues to inspire generations of leaders around the world.

What began as a vision has grown into a global community united by a shared commitment to leadership, service, and creating positive change.

During our Midyear Meeting last July, the 2026 JCI Board of Directors, JCI World Headquarters Staff, and JCI members came together to pay tribute to our founder at his resting place, a meaningful moment to reflect on the legacy entrusted to us and the responsibility we carry to continue his vision.

More than a century later, his belief in young people remains at the heart of everything we do. Every leader developed, every connection made, and every community transformed is a reminder that his vision lives on through each of us.

As we honor where we began, we renew our commitment to the future we are building together.

Happy JCI Founder’s Day!

𝟭𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀. We know that’s a lot to ask.
So here is what you get back. Every answer from every person is published, free for anyone to read. Not a summary. Not a short report. All of it, including whatever it says about JCI. And everyone who answers gets a copy.

The survey asks four things. What your school or university left out. What is stopping you from leading. What your workplace says about mental health, and what it really does when someone is struggling. What international networks have actually given you.

Have you ever tried to convince a council, a sponsor or a board without numbers to prove your point? Then you know why we ask so much.

Most questions are one tap. A few ask you to write. Those are the ones that get quoted.

𝟭𝟯 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁. 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝟭𝟱 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿.

65 questions. About 15 minutes. The 2026 JCI x AIESEC Joint Youth Survey, in 7 languages across 130+ countries. What your generation actually thinks, on the record.

🎙️ The second episode of Women in Leadership x JCI Talks is here! 🙌

During the JCI Global Youth Summit in New York, we had the pleasure of interviewing Ximena Girón, one of the speakers at the Summit.

A mechanical engineer, project management professional and TEDx speaker, Ximena has built her career in manufacturing, operational excellence and continuous improvement, navigating industries where women are still underrepresented.

In this conversation, we talked about her leadership journey, the experience of being a woman in engineering and manufacturing, breaking barriers, and the advice she would give to other women building their own leadership path.

🎥 Watch the interview and get inspired by Ximena’s journey!

Let’s keep building leadership that is more inclusive, more conscious, and more global. 💜

Today, the JCI family remembers Phillip Reid Berry, 1987 JCI President.

Phil gave his heart to the JCI movement. His leadership, friendship, and service to humanity touched so many in our organization, and many of us were lucky to call him a dear friend.

To honor his legacy, JCI World Headquarters has planted five memorial trees in his name. Like the young leaders he inspired, they'll keep growing for years to come.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends as they gather to celebrate his life this Saturday.

Forever remembered. Forever appreciated.
