JCI Christchurch Launches as Christchurch Rebuilds
JCI Christchurch Launches as Christchurch
Rebuilds
While many Christchurch residents are focused
on the rebuild of their beloved city, a group of dedicated
young people are working hard to launch JCI Christchurch, an
initiative that will ensure that tomorrow’s leaders are
developed today, while also ensuring that the new
Christchurch is the best it can be.
Scheduled to be
held at the Westpac Business Hub on April 20, the
admission-free event will see community leaders, including a
number of local MP’s, convene with local young people as
JCI Christchurch is officially launched and new members are
signed up. Speakers for the night include a special guest
from JCI International, a former JCI New Zealand president,
and Student Volunteer Army founder, Sam Johnson.
JCI
Christchurch is a local chapter of Junior Chamber
International (JCI); a worldwide non-profit organisation
dedicated to giving young people between the ages of 18-40
personal and professional development opportunities,
empowering them to create positive change in their local
community. With over 200,000 members in over 100 countries,
JCI is one of the largest youth-development organisations,
and on the evening of April 20, it is officially coming to
Christchurch.
The mission of JCI Christchurch is
simply to inspire young people to create positive change in
the Christchurch community by engaging them in grassroots
volunteer projects, while also giving them practical public
speaking, project managing and other professional
skills.
