Building Better Leaders for a Better World
For over a century, Junior Chamber International has empowered young people to lead, to innovate, and to build stronger communities across the globe. Our story is driven by action—and it’s only just beginning.
Locally Rooted, Globally Connected
JCI members span more than 5,000 communities in over 100 countries. Through local initiatives and international collaboration, we create a ripple effect of change that transcends borders and cultures. As a global youth leadership organization, we connect young leaders worldwide, fostering knowledge exchange, cultural understanding, and joint efforts on projects that address societal challenges. From small community actions to large-scale international campaigns, JCI provides a platform where leadership meets service and vision meets action.

We Believe:
- 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;
- And that service to humanity is the best work of life.
