Active citizenship is a concept that concerns everyone. As global citizens, we all have rights and responsibilities. We have shared local, national and global interests. Active citizenship is the capacity we all have to work together towards these shared goals. This is the spirit that links all JCI members: their sense of social responsibility and their initiative to take action to create a better future for all. In JCI, active citizenship is a long-established concept. The JCI movement is a means by which young people have become active citizens for nearly 100 years. JCI is the original organization of young active citizens.

Each JCI organization holds elections every year on the local, national and international levels. This One-Year-To-Lead principle makes it possible for there to be leadership positions available at all levels each year. It gives young people the challenge to learn to lead, manage people, time and resources, and develop their personal skills. And as a leader, they take responsibility for their JCI Organization and the advancement of their community, fostering a sense of social responsibility. This self-governing structure not only trains principle-centered leaders, it calls for democratic participation. Each member holds accountability for the Organization. Each member is responsible to bring ideas and work together. This fosters openness, respect, responsibility, interactive decision-making in all members.
