Cohort
[Leaders Lab]
An [8]-week cohort program. You'll lead a real project from first idea to final report, with a senior member as your coach.
Pick your lane.
Four areas of opportunity. One membership. Join one, mix two or run all four. Every program is designed and led by members like you.
Get better, fast. In public.
Skip the seminar. You'll practice leadership by running meetings, managing budgets and presenting to rooms that push back. Trainers coach you and your peers keep you honest.
Workshop
[Public Speaking Lab: Own the Room]
Three hours, a camera and a room full of people who want you to do well. Practice a pitch, a toast and a hostile Q&A.
Mentoring
[Mentor Match]
Get paired with a member who's been where you want to go. You meet monthly and set goals together. Next year you mentor someone else.
Skills
[Project Management Sprint]
Budgeting, recruiting volunteers, running a meeting that ends on time. The practical skills they skip in business school.
Fix a block. Then the next one.
We start with what New Yorkers tell us they need, then design a project, recruit volunteers and measure the result. No photo ops. If it doesn't help, we change it.
Food security
[Pantry Logistics Project]
We map donations to demand across [X] Bronx pantries so fresh food gets there before it spoils.
Civic life
[Seat at the Table]
We train young residents to apply for community board seats, and we show up with them for the first meeting.
Education
[First-Gen Mentoring]
Students at [X] CUNY campuses get paired with members working in the careers they want.
Environment
[Five Boroughs Cleanup Day]
One Saturday, five boroughs, [XXX] volunteers. We track every bag and every block.
The city's global. Act like it.
New York hosts the UN, and neighbors from everywhere. We connect members to peers in 100+ countries, then bring what works back home.
Delegation
[World Congress Delegation]
Travel with the New York delegation to JCI World Congress. Meet members from 100+ countries, vote on global policy and bring home ideas for our city.
United Nations
[UN Side Event Series]
JCI's ECOSOC consultative status gets us into the room. Members draft talking points, speak on panels and report back on what the city can act on.
Exchange
[Sister Chapter Exchange]
Pair up with a chapter in [City, Country]. Swap projects, host visiting members and test each other's best ideas at home.
Summit
[NYC Global Goals Summit]
A full day near UN headquarters where members, diplomats and local leaders turn the SDGs into New York projects.
Build the thing. Find your people.
Founders, operators and future executives learn faster next to each other. Bring your venture, your day job or just an idea.
Founders
[Founders Table]
A monthly dinner for [12] founders. One person brings a real problem, everyone else gives honest advice. Chatham House rules.
Pitch
[Pitch Night]
Five minutes, five slides and a panel of operators and investors. Winners get introductions, not trophies.
Industry
[Industry Salons]
Small evening roundtables on finance, tech, health, media and the creative economy, hosted at member workplaces.
Careers
[Career Pivot Clinic]
Switching industries? Sit down with members who made the same jump and rewrite your story together.
[A member quote about a business connection, a first hire or a pitch that changed something.]
