JCI Bangladesh

Currently, JCI Bangladesh has over 40 Local Organizations (LO) with more than 5000 members all around the country under the strong leadership of Mr. Imran Kadir (National President, 2024).

A leading non-profit international non-governmental organization and global network of young active citizens between 18 and 40 years providing them with development opportunities that empower these young people to create a positive change. The first local Junior Chamber chapter was founded in 1915, but the international umbrella organization Junior Chamber International (JCI) was founded in Mexico in 1944. It has consultative status with the Council of Europe, the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations and UNESCO."

What We do?

These activities are coordinated at the local level by Local Organizations (LOs), which operate with their own boards and manage conferences, projects, and local publications. Each LO is part of a National Organization (NO), which is governed by a national board and affiliated with Junior Chamber International (JCI). JCI's international structure includes publishing the JCI World magazine quarterly in six languages and hosting the JCI World Congress annually in November, along with regional JCI Area Conferences. Through these initiatives, JCI aims to cultivate leadership skills and foster positive change among young people.

How we work?

• Local Organizations (LOs): Community-based chapters that manage local projects and leadership development.
• National Organizations (NOs): Oversee and support LOs at a national level, organizing broader initiatives.
• International Board: Guides global strategy, oversees international events, and maintains organizational standards.
• Signature Programs & Global Events and Resources: Includes international conferences and publications to facilitate networking and knowledge sharing. 

JCI's structure integrates local actions with global objectives, empowering young leaders to create positive change worldwide. JCI’s signature programs include the Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World (TOYP) program, which recognizes young individuals who have made significant contributions to their communities, and the JCI Active Citizen Framework, a tool that helps members plan, implement, and evaluate impactful community projects. The framework includes community assessment, project planning, project implementation, and project evaluation.
