About JCI Belgium
JCI Belgium empowers young people to become leaders who create positive change, for themselves, their communities, and society at large.
JUNIOR CHAMBER INTERNATIONAL
For our members, JCI Belgium is a place to learn by doing. Through real projects, rotating leadership roles, and hands-on responsability, members develop the skills, confidence, and mindset to lead – in business, public life, and beyond. JCI offers a safe environment to take risks, try new roles, and grow faster than in traditional settings, supported by a strong national and global network.
For society, JCI Belgium acts as a leadership multiplier. By activating young leaders around talent development, innovation, and sustainability, we turn individual growth into collective impact. Our projects address real challenges, strengthen local communities, and contribute to long-term positive change — locally, nationally, and internationally.
As part of a worldwide movement with over a century of proven experience, JCI Belgium connects Belgium’s next generation of leaders to a global ecosystem. Through partnerships, international cooperation, and inclusive collaboration, we create opportunities where people, ideas, and values come together to generate lasting impact.

Sustainable Development Goals
JCI Belgium will be putting a lot of spotlight on the Sustainable Development Goals. We want to hear about all the great local projects supporting the SDGs, and we want to inspire you to start projects that support the SDGs.
What are the SDG’s?
On September 25th 2015, countries adopted a set of goals to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda. Each goal has specific targets to be achieved over the next 15 years. This is called “The 2030 Agenda”. In 2016, JCI decide to support the SDGs via a resolution signed at the Global Partnership Summit in New York. At NCN 2017 in Gent, JCI Belgium decide to ratify the resolution and support the work with SDGs in Belgium.
