JCI Leeds (Junior Chamber International)
About Us
Junior Chamber International (JCI) is a worldwide federation of young leaders and entrepreneurs with over 250,000 active members in over 100 countries. JCI provides young people with the opportunity to develop their leadership skills, social responsibility, entrepreneurship and fellowship necessary to create positive change. Past members of JCI include Kofi Annan, Bill Clinton and Bill Gates.
JCI Leeds was established in 1956 and is one of the largest Junior Chambers in the UK. People from all walks of life join JCI to learn, grow and lead projects in areas of business, community, international and individual personal development.
Business
JCI Leeds works with members and corporate partners to host a programme of business events, an excellent way of getting involved with the commercial side of life in Leeds. We run monthly networking events to give you the opportunity to present your organisation to a wide range of businesses and exchange contact details with potential clients and suppliers. We also host the Leeds Annual Business Lecture, which is a fantastic opportunity to listen and learn from some truly inspirational business leaders.
Community
JCI Leeds is passionate about putting something back into the communities in which we live and work. It can be easy to forget that even in a thriving city like Leeds, there are many people less fortunate than ourselves. JCI Leeds recognises the importance of young people being active citizens and encourages members to take time to get involved in the community. JCI members have the opportunity to get involved with practical and fundraising projects on a local, national and international level.
International
JCI Leeds offers members the opportunity to travel to new and exciting places and to network with fellow members all over the world. Members benefit from training and personal development opportunities at national and international events, including European and World Conferences. Bursaries are available to supplement the costs to help members to attend events outside of Leeds.
Individual Personal Development
JCI Leeds exists to support the development of its members. Members can attend our monthly individual personal development sessions to gain a range of skills such as networking, public speaking, leadership and confidence building. Our trainers have a wealth of experience and it is our members who drive the topics we train, so if there is something that would help you to build your skills and confidence then we will look into including it in our programme.Contact Us:
