Hello Active Citizen, the one brimming with potential!
We are excited to finally launch our newsletter. We birthed this newsletter so we could let you in on how we create positive change, challenge the status quo, and ultimately, tell our story of Impact in a compelling way.
Since this is the first issue, I’ll like to do a quick summary of what JCI is all about, and also what to expect from Letters From The Parliament moving forward.
Who are we? What do we do?
If you are a JCI member in any Local Organization, then you probably know this already. If you are not, you have likely watched our Newsletter launch video to get a picture of what we do. Either way, here’s a summary of how we are and what we do
Junior Chamber International ( JCI) is a community of over 200,000 active citizens and leaders driven by a passion for Impact, Growth, and Leadership. Founded in 1915 by Henry Giessenbier Jr., JCI has birthed so many visionary leaders. J.F Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Koffi Anan, Ibukun Awosika, to mention a few, were all active members of the organization.
We're on a mission to become the world's leading network of young people ready to make the world a better place.
As an affiliate of JCI Nigeria, JCIN University of Lagos is contributing to the mission on campus. Here is a list of the great minds behind the movement on campus!
