What we're all about
Developing leaders for a changing world
Being a young change maker is difficult; we face challenges like dealing with the perception that we don’t have enough experience, having our ideas rejected, and trying to drive change in organizations that simply aren’t interested in it. Many people get discouraged and give up.
​
These challenges are why JCI USA exists; we're a nonprofit that serves as a platform where changemakers like you can build up experience, have the freedom to try new things without fear of failure, and learn through education and application.
​
This is accomplished through world class training and leadership positions where you can gain experience and apply what you learn in real time.
With these challenges addressed, young change makers can build credibility and become thought leaders on the local, national, and international stages.
