JCI Partners JCI recognizes that global sustainable impact takes the united effort of all sectors of society. At the international level, JCI collaborates with global organizations that share mutual values and goals to maximize our members’ impact. Partnerships are critical to advancing the JCI Mission and Vision as a way to maximize efforts that empower young people to create positive change and expand JCI’s global network. Together, JCI and international partners connect like-minded groups for the common purpose of creating a better world. Connecting groups who are united by a common vision to solve community challenges can ensure sustainable solutions. Each sector of society — business, government and civil society — are uniquely positioned to influence decision-making and effect change. When resources, knowledge, experience and power are combined toward a shared goal, the potential for change is both greater and more sustainable.
