Passport to Civic Leadership
Up for a challenge? The Passport to Civic Leadership is designed to provide individual members with the essential tools and skills required to become active, well-rounded Jaycees. By challenging members to complete specific objectives, the program serves to both develop and retain talent while significantly enhancing individual and leadership capabilities.
Program Structure and Requirements
The journey to becoming a civic leader involves a diverse range of tasks tailored to immerse you in the JCI experience and your local community. Some examples include:
Consistently participating in chapter meetings.
Attending local city council or chamber of commerce meetings to understand civic processes.
Taking the initiative to lead a training session.
Engaging in recruitment, project management, and national initiatives.
As you progress through the program, you will work through ten distinct degrees of leadership. Members who successfully complete the entire challenge are honored at the JCI USA Annual Meeting and recognized as prestigious 10th Degree Jaycees!
