About us
Junior Chamber International brings together young people aged 18–40 to develop leadership skills, engage in community development, promote entrepreneurship, and foster international cooperation — through practical action, not theory.
“To provide leadership development opportunities that empower young people to create positive change.”
“To be the foremost global network of young leaders.”
Founded by Henry Giessenbier Jr. in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, on the belief that young people can create meaningful, lasting change.
One of the world's largest networks of young active citizens, in over 100 countries and territories.
Headquartered at Show Grounds, Nangwenya Road, Lusaka, operating through local chapters across the country.
Welcoming a JCI World Vice President to Zambia — membership with a global doorway.
Most youth groups stop at networking. In JCI you run projects, organize events, lead teams, engage government and stakeholders, and represent Zambia internationally. That is why CEOs, diplomats, parliamentarians and entrepreneurs around the world once passed through JCI — it is widely known as a “leadership laboratory.”
JCI Zambia is not a political party and not a religious organization — members from every church, tribe, political background and profession work together peacefully.
Leadership in JCI is democratic and merit-based — earned through nominations, qualifications, voting and accountability.
Join a local chapter, attend trainings, meet the network.
Run a community project — lead a real team with a real budget.
Oversee growth, training and projects at chapter level.
Lead an entire chapter for a one-year term.
Coordinate programs across Zambia.
Chief leader and official representative of JCI Zambia.
