UN Approves New General Consultative Status for JCI

The UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) has granted JCI new consultative status, advancing our longtime partnership and collaborative relations with the UN. Since 1954, JCI and the United Nations have had a longstanding, positive relationship sharing similar goals and working toward better communities and a better world. ECOSOC allows non-governmental organizations (NGOs) like JCI to have a role in formal UN deliberations. When our partnership with the UN began, JCI received Special consultative status after being recommended by the ECOSOC Committee on NGOs.

At the end of July 2011, the Committee on NGOs voted to raise JCI’s status from “Special” to “General.”

There are 3 levels of consultative status, Roster, Special and General. Roster consultative status includes NGOs that tend to have a rather narrow or technical focus and can make smaller, occasional contributions to the work of ECOSOC.

Special consultative status, JCI’s previous status, is granted to NGOs that have a Special competence in and are concerned specifically with only a few of the initiatives and activities covered by ECOSOC.

After an application and recommendation process through the ECOSOC Committee on NGOs, JCI was granted a change of status. JCI’s new general consultative status is reserved for large international NGOs whose area of work covers most of the issues on the agenda of ECOSOC and its subsidiary bodies. JCI joins an elite group of fewer than 150 large, established NGOs that hold general status with ECOSOC.

Read the full report from the 2011 resumed session of the ECOSOC Committee on NGOs.

 Expand Your Boundaries: 2011 JCI World Congress

Start planning now to join your fellow JCI members at the 2011 JCI World Congress in Brussels, Belgium, an international melting pot of art, history, politics and cuisine.

Getting to Know Brussels
Belgium has been a center of international trade for centuries, which contributes to Brussels’ reputation as a city of diverse culture and new ideas. Belgium has something for everyone, unique museums, historic architecture, 650 styles of beers and more than 2,000 chocolate shops.

The capital city and host of the 2011 World Congress, Brussels is home to the European Union (EU), an economic and political partnership between 27 European countries. The EU headquarters attracts delegates from throughout the continent, making Brussels the center of European international relations. As international young active citizens, JCI members are invested in cross-cultural collaboration, which makes Brussels the perfect environment for sharing global ideas.

Engaging JCI Members and the Community
Every year at Congress, delegates participate in a variety of programs, events and discussions, providing a venue for finding creative solutions to community challenges.

This year, one day of Congress will be open to the public, allowing anyone to get a taste of JCI, our Mission and the passion of our members about creating positive change. A variety of speakers, panels and forums will focus on relevant topics such as sustainability, the “blue economy,” tackling urban growth challenges and combating global poverty. Speakers from JCI partners including the UN Foundation and the UN Global Compact will discuss Corporate Social Responsibility and how sustainable business practices can contribute to a better world. These speakers and unique conversations will allow young active citizens and community members to work together on targeted solutions and concrete actions to address the root of global challenges.

This day will conclude with JCI CYEA, an international award designed to recognize outstanding young entrepreneurs, sponsored by the Flanders District of Creativity. Three finalists will present their sustainable, creative business endeavors to the panel of judges that will select the winner.

JCI Morning Show
Don't miss out on other exciting World Congress events like the JCI Morning Show. Join other delegates for a high-energy hour of entertainment and motivation. Get a preview of what’s on tap for that day at Congress and increase your understanding of the JCI Active Citizen Framework. Each day the Morning Show will feature a new theme relating to how members can enhance the impact of their projects and programs. Themes for this year include “engaging your community,” “turning ideas into solutions” and “sustaining the change.” Delegates will also learn about successful JCI projects around the world and listen to exciting guest speakers as they discuss their challenging endeavors to create positive change.

During each Morning Show, come see 2011 JCI President Kentaro Harada present awards for 100% Efficiency, the JCI Impact of One contests and Countdown to Congress winners.

Set Sail to Save Lives at the JCI Regatta

For some fun in the sun for a good cause, join fellow JCI members, guests and partners at the JCI Regatta from September 3 to 7.

All Aboard!
Starting their journey in the clear blue waters of Biograd, Croatia, 10 international teams and their boats will set sail in support of JCI Nothing But Nets. Each sailing day ends with a social outing comprised of dinner and drinks ashore at a unique location on one of the many islands along the route. The event is all-inclusive, so the registration fee includes your place on a yacht, the champagne welcome night, drinks and food during the dinners, parties and while on board.

Every 45 seconds a child in Africa dies from malaria. With a donation of just $10 USD, an insecticide-treated mosquito net is sent to Africa to protect a family from this deadly disease. JCI works closely with the UN Foundation to raise money for this campaign to purchase nets, distribute them to families in need, educate them on the proper use of the net and increase malaria awareness and prevention. Twenty percent of every participant fee for the JCI Regatta will directly benefit JCI Nothing But Nets. Cordaid, an international development organization based in The Netherlands, will double all of the revenue from this event to ensure that as many lives are saved as possible across Africa.

To register for the JCI Regatta, please complete the online registration form or send it by email to http://www.blogger.com/info@jci-regatta.com.

Download the JCI Regatta program to discover the route and offshore sights of this year’s event.
