Founded in 1944 in Mexico City, JCI has spread from the original eight countries to more than 100 countries.
We have member countries in Europe, Americas, Africa, Asia and the Pacific.
JCI is a truly international organization. We represent most of the world's nationalities, ethnicities and religions, yet we all share a bond of friendship and core beliefs that help us surmount multiple challenges.

Twinning
A relationship instituted between two Junior Chamber
chapters in different countries is usually referred to as "twinning."
This guide is designed to assist those chapters interested in
establishing a twinning (sister chapter) relationship. The motivation
to twin originates from the members in two chapters who wish to
establish a mutual understanding and friendship. The objective is to
exchange personal visits, ideas, projects and culture. With modern
communication and transportation systems, distance is no longer an
obstacle. For this reason, chapter twinning is easier now than ever
before.
Twinning usually starts with correspondence between
two chapters. This form of international cooperation does not require
regular visits, and the link lasts for as long as the two chapters
wish. One simple exchange of information is all that the cooperation
requires. These activities enable chapters to make contacts with
foreign chapters that may eventually twin in the future.
