Born in the midst of COVID-19, JCI RISE is an umbrella program that encompasses projects from JCI Organisations from around the world, that aim to Rebuild, Invest, Sustain and Evolve.
The three pillars of JCI RISE were chosen in direct response to the new challenges brought in by the early 2020s. It aims to build a better future for everyone.
- Mental Health Awareness - For a productive and innovative workforce, we need to destigmatize discussions around mental health and create comprehensive strategies to care for our emotional wellbeing. With this initiative, we focus on improving understanding of mental health conditions and increasing access to much-needed healthcare. "There is no health without mental health" - SDG 3
- Workforce Empowerment - It can be hard to stay engaged and motivated in an uncertain environment. But it's still important to do all we can to fight youth unemployment, encourage entrepreneurship and enable professional reskilling. - SDG 1 4 8
- Business Recovery - When we work together to sustain and rebuild businesses and economies, we're impacting lives and livelihoods. It's time to look at the way we do business - time to rethink and adapt to make it more ethical and sustainable for the next generation. - SDG 9 11 12
Thanks to our members’ innovative thinking and creative solutions, hundreds (if not thousands!) of JCI RISE projects have been ideated and implemented since 2020.
