Youth

The Junior Chamber International (JCI) is a worldwide federation of young leaders and entrepreneurs aged between 18 and 40, with local chapters in more than 5,000 communities located in more than 100 cities with more than 200,000 members. Founded in Mexico City on December 11, 1944, JCI provides young people with the opportunity to develop their leadership skills, social responsibility, entrepreneurship and the fellowship necessary to create positive change. In 2004, five young and motivated Syrians founded JCI Syria under the umbrella of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). Damascus was the first city to host the newly established organization. Then came Aleppo and Homs. Coming next is Latakia.
