The anticipation is building as Junior Chamber International (JCI) St. Vincent, formerly known as the St.
Vincent Jaycees, proudly announces it will host the 65th JCI West Indies National Convention from October 8–
12, 2025, under the theme: “Creating a Brighter Future, Together in Hairouna!” For the first time since 2014,
this premier regional event returns to Vincentian soil, with over 180 delegates locally and regionally. Also in
attendance will be international JCI Board Officers who will gather for five days of leadership training, cultural
exchange, competitions, and impactful community service. During the convention, participants will engage in
activities that reflect JCI’s key pillars: leadership, entrepreneurship, debating, public speaking, and community
service. Each delegate will contribute to a local impact project aimed at national development and regional
solidarity.
A Historic First: The JCI West Indies Leadership Academy
Adding to the excitement, the convention will be preceded by the inaugural JCI West Indies Leadership Academy,
a historic first in the region. This intensive three-day workshop is designed to strengthen leadership capacity
among emerging changemakers, empowering a new generation of Caribbean leaders through a series of skills
development sessions.
