A chapter shaped by its members

Across nearly seven decades, JCI City Singapore has been shaped by the members who chose to lead it — over 60 presidents, hundreds of board members, and thousands of project volunteers. The chapter has run national-level programmes, hosted multiple JCI Asia Pacific gatherings, and produced a steady stream of leaders who go on to senior roles in business, government, and the third sector.

What stays constant is the chapter's focus on developing young leaders through real projects, real training, and a real peer network.
