Introduction

JCI is an organization that was founded and exists by the impactcreated by its members in local communities and the global

society. This impact is created by the innovative projects, creative

programs and sustainable solutions developed by empowered

young active citizens.

While this has remained a constant throughout JCIs strong

history, the organization recognizes that the challenges of today

require collaborative solutions that involve all sectors of society:

government, business and civil society.

The 20142018 JCI Strategic Plan outlines a number of strategies

and action steps that the organization can embark on to become

the leading organization that unites all sectors of society to create

sustainable impact. The 2015 JCI Plan of Action will guide the

organizations operations for the upcoming year. It will provide

concrete measurements that the organization can use at the local,

national and international level to implement the Strategic Plan,

along with achieving the JCI Mission and Vision.

2015: 100thAnniversary of the JCI Movement

2015 is a very special period for our organization, a year ofopportunity to connect members. Just as St. Louis serves as the

gateway to the West in the United States, in the center of the east

and west, 2015 serves as the gateway between the first 100 years

of our organization and the upcoming years, when we will impact

new generations, places, projects and partners. This year marks

one hundred years of impact and we will celebrate the lives and

communities our organization has touched and the position we

have played in shaping the world.

The world today is full of uncertainty and challenges. We have no

other choice but to unite all our efforts to create a better world.

This is achieved in the long-term by increasing the participation of

active citizens involved in business, government and civil society.

Solutions to these challenges facing our world can be achieved

by active citizens conducting local projects creating sustainable

impact.
