 The JCI TWINNING Program is a voluntary and reciprocal agreement between JAYCEE national organizations or local organizations in different countries, regions or cities.
The motivation to TWIN originates from the JAYCEE members in two national or local organizations 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, TWINNING is easier now than ever.
+ While this program is open to both national and local organizations, when considering a TWIN, JAYCEES want to choose one that is similar to (your) organization – national organizations with national organizations, and local organizations with local organizations.

International Area of Opportunity
Embodying the line of the JAYCEE Creed that states, "The brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations," this area provides an opportunity for individual members to contribute to the development of goodwill, under-standing, and cooperation among all peoples.
Programming in this area would encompass all projects and programs that enhance a member's knowledge of different cultures and countries around the world.
Note: Chapter visitation programs would be included under this commission. Chapter TWINNING would be included under the International Involvement Commission.
This includes the following two Commissions:
• State, National, and International Junior Chamber Involvement. This Commission includes all state, USJC, and JCI emphasis programs.
Current nationwide chapter projects include: Jaycees Against Youth Smoking (JAYS), Outstanding Young Farmer (OYF), Ten Outstanding Young Americans (TOYA), Government Involvement, and Youth Education Services (YES).

Brief:
The World Congress gathers all the JCI National Organisations for their annual General Assembly mixed with a variety of seminars, training events and keynote speeches. Each year, around 5,000 delegates meet in a different country, not only for the events mentioned earlier, but also to have the opportunity to network with fellow jaycees as well as enjoy the cultures of the cities in which these congresses are held. This event motivates and inspires involvement and participation and gives the opportunity to young people to expand their horizons on an international level. This year the conference will be held in New Delhi, India – a hub for history and culture and the perfect setting to get involved with and personally experience JCI.
Dates:
4th to 10th November, 2008
