Growing our organization starts with each of us. Every new member brings fresh ideas, new energy, and more opportunities to create positive change in our communities. That's why we're excited to launch the JCI Minnesota Membership Growth Campaign, a statewide initiative designed to reward members and chapters for sharing the JCI experience.
Campaign Dates: July 1 – December 31
Earn Rewards for Recruiting New Members
Know someone who would make a great Jaycee? Invite them to join!
For the first 30 successful referrals during the campaign:
You earn a $25 gift card for every new paid member you recruit.
Your new member receives a $10 credit toward a JCI Minnesota convention or JCI Minnesota swag. This Credit must be used by the end of 2027.
To receive credit, simply make sure you're listed as the recruiter on the new member's application.
Compete as a Chapter
Membership growth is a team effort! Chapters will compete in three, two month recruiting sprints:
Sprint 1: July–August
Sprint 2: September–October
Sprint 3: November–December
Each sprint winning chapter will receive a $150 Chapter Development Grant to support leadership development, programming, recruitment efforts, or member engagement activities.
Winners will be determined based on membership growth percentage, giving every chapter large or small a fair opportunity to compete.
Host a Bring-a-Friend Event
Thinking about hosting a recruiting event? JCI Minnesota is offering five $60 Recruiting Event Microgrants to help chapters offset event costs.
Whether it's a coffee meetup, networking event, happy hour, service project, or professional development program, these grants are designed to help chapters introduce prospective members to JCI in a fun and welcoming environment.
Recruit. Lead. Be Recognized.
Outstanding recruiters will be recognized at the end of the campaign, including:
Top Individual Recruiter: $125
Second-Place Recruiter: $75
Winners will also be recognized at a JCI Minnesota event, featured in the JCI Minnesota newsletter, highlighted on social media, and recognized on the JCI Minnesota website.
Campaign Rules
Referrals count only after membership dues have been paid.
Only new members qualify.
