Twinning
When you join a local chapter, your network doesn’t end there – through the JCI Twinning program, you have the opportunity to create international relationships and collaborate with chapters from around the world! The JCI Twinning program connects JCI chapters from different countries and/or regions, fostering international collaboration and cultural exchange. JCI USA chapters can Twin across local chapters in the same or different states, as well as internationally.
See our Twinning page for more information!
JCI Events
In addition to local and national events, members are encouraged to participate in JCI events like World Congress and Conference of America. By traveling outside the country, members can grow their networks and connect with young leaders from around the world.
2026 World Congress is taking place in Clark, Philippines November 11-15. The next Conference of America will be in Florianopolis, Brazil, April 28 – May 1st. Check out our JCI Events page for more info!
OnTo
JCI USA understands the importance of travel and in-person relationship building to our members’ personal and professional development. However, attending events like JCI World Congress and Conference of America can seem out of reach for some. OnTo was created to help address the financial challenges that may come along with travel opportunities by providing a package that includes payment plans, JCI swag, and member support throughout.
OnTo registration for 2026 World Congress is open now! Click here for more info on how to get started.
If traveling isn’t for you, there are plenty of other opportunities to grow with JCI USA! Check out our pages for Community Impact & Advocacy and Leadership Development & Member Support for additional resources.
