About the Academy Experience

Who is Academy for?

North American Academy is for impact creators - for future leaders and those who will lead their communities on the local, national, and even international stage.​​ You don't have to be in a national leadership or executive position to attend NAA. That's actually the point - the experience is created to empower and educate those that see themselves in larger roles in the future, both within the JCI movement and outside it.​

Development sessions and topics to help you drive impact

When the attendee arrives home from the JCI North American Academy, they will have learned new skills relating to leading a group, motivating others, building an international network of like-minded people, and acting strategically with community and organizational stakeholders to create positive change.

Build your network with national and international attendees and trainers

With graduates and trainers from seven different countries, you'll walk out of North American Academy with a wider network from people in the United States and beyond. World-class trainers deliver content in a smaller, more personalized setting that you won't find in normal conferences and events.

Designed for young change makers

Thanks to support from our sponsors and US Junior Chamber Foundation, we are able to keep Academy registration at a point accessible to young change makers. You can find out more about the US Junior Chamber Foundation at their website.
