The JCI Academy provides an opportunity for highly motivated JCI members, specially selected by their National Organization to experience training so that they may effectively fulfill their role as the global leaders of tomorrow. The course offers them the opportunity to develop a global perspective, establish lasting friendships, promote their engagement in the worldwide JCI network, and help to build a foundation from which they can work towards establishing a lasting world peace.


Participants from about 80 countries will be taking part in the program, interacting with each other and experiencing firsthand the JCI principles of "Personal Training, Service to the Community, and World Friendship." Having hosted the Academy since 1988, JCI Japan emphasizes the promotion and implementation of JCI's objectives throughout the Academy's activities. A wide variety of activities and projects are conducted utilizing the advantages of JCI's global network. These activities are often carried out by Academy graduates, working as "Global Networkers," and have as their goal "Lasting World Peace." The promotion and development of this network is an important and necessary part of our movement.
