JCI or National Organizations running projects without Local Organizations will eliminate

community-based action and in turn eliminate the need of JCI itself.

JCI or National Organizations give support and direction to Local Organizations and

members to run projects that will lead to the accomplishments of the JCI Mission.

Page 39: 2012 national officers training

Strength of JCI

JCI is only strong when National Organizations are strong.

National Organizations are only strong when Local Organizations are strong.

Not the other way around!

The action and results must be praised, not the winner!

It is the change that you create that matters

Collective Action

Two men walk down different paths, each carrying a loaf bread, they meet at a

crossroad and exchange loaves, each one will walk away with one bread.

But, if the same men walk with an idea and exchange it at the crossroad, each one will

walk away with two ideas.

Chinese proverb
