Junior Chamber International (JCI) is a global membership-based non-profit organization of young
active citizens ages 18 to 40 who are dedicated to creating positive change in their communities. Through projects in more than 5,000 communities across more than 100 countries, members seek
targeted solutions to local problems, creating a global impact.
The JCI movement started on October 13, 1915 by one active citizen, Henry Giessenbier, who had a
passion for positive change. Since then, millions of other young active citizens have united together to
create sustainable impact in their community.
