Community Involvement
In Vernon, JCI members are active with community projects such as The Paddle Against Cancer and Funtastic. With the business sector we are active with the Chamber of Commerce, The Good Citizen of the Year and with professional training seminars. Specifically, we help run projects for our community.
Training
Monthly, we hold meetings with training on various businesses, personal and often times fun topics. Twice a year, professional training is offered to our members, at next to zero cost, at a regional and national level.
Social
At least once a month we hold a social event for our members and guests. This can be anything from rock climbing, to curling, to golf or hiking.
Why?
To provide opportunities for young individuals. The experience of running a high profile event is key to many of our member's personal development. The business contacts from running events is second to none. Plus, at the end of the day, we help build a stronger community for our friends, family and colleagues.
