JCI New York · Est. [YYYY]
Neither do we. JCI New York is the city's action-oriented think tank for young professionals aged 18–40. We study the problems, propose the fixes — then go out and do the work.
Most leadership programs teach you about leadership. JCI puts you in charge of something and lets you learn by doing it.
We're member-led at every level. No spectators, no résumé padding — every member runs something real.
Four areas of opportunity
Training, coaching and the kind of responsibility you won't get at work for another ten years.
Develop yourselfProjects designed with New Yorkers, measured against real outcomes — not photo ops.
Change your cityWork alongside members in 100+ countries, from World Congress to UN side events.
Go globalFounders, operators and future executives building ventures and networks that last.
