We are a global network of 200,000 young leaders and active citizens around the globe. This means JCI offers many opportunities throughout the year to attend international events, conferences, partnership summits and connect with other like minded young-leaders around the world.

We also keep strong relations and cooperate closely with our twin chapters in: Florianopolis (Brazil) Belfast (Northern Ireland) Leeds (United Kingdom) and Glasgow (Scotland).
