Passport to Civic Leadership

Up for a challenge? Passport to Civic Leadership provides individual members with the tools and skills they need to be an active, well-rounded Jaycee. This program develops and retains members by challenging them to complete specific objectives that enhance their individual and leadership skills. Tasks include participating in chapter meetings, attending your local city council or chamber of commerce meeting, leading a training, and more. Members who complete the challenge are honored at JCI USA’s Annual Meeting as 10th Degree Jaycees!

Use this form to submit your completed tasks. You may submit degrees as completed, or multiple at a time. You do not have to complete tasks in order (ex: every item in the 1st degree, then every item in the 2nd degree). Recognition is based on the lowest fully completed degree.
