About JCI Brașov

A global movement of young leaders, rooted in Brașov since 2003.

Not just another network. A movement.

JCI is a global network of young leaders who learn by doing, grow by sharing and lead by acting.

The world needs people who don't wait for change, but make it happen. Turning that drive into real impact takes opportunity, fresh perspective and a community that believes in your potential.

At JCI Brașov, members take ownership of projects in business, culture and the community, and push each other to raise the bar. JCI was founded in 1915 and has been active in Romania since 2003. Brașov was one of the cities that founded the national federation.
