Junior Chamber International (JCI) St. Vincent, formerly known as the St. Vincent Jaycees has announced that it will host the 65th JCI West Indies National Convention from 8–12 October 2025.

Under the theme “Creating a Brighter Future, Together in Hairouna!”, this premier regional event returns to Vincentian soil for the first time since 2014. It will bring together over 180 delegates from across the region and locally, along with international JCI Board Officers, for five days of leadership training, cultural exchange, competitions, and impactful community service.

During the convention, participants will engage in activities aligned with JCI’s core pillars: leadership, entrepreneurship, debating, public speaking, and community service. Each delegate will contribute to a local impact project focused on national development and regional solidarity.

Preceding the convention is the inaugural JCI West Indies Leadership Academy, a historic first for the region. This intensive three-day workshop aims to strengthen leadership capacity among emerging changemakers, equipping a new generation of Caribbean leaders through focused skills development sessions.

JCI St. Vincent has expressed gratitude to the following partners for their commitment to youth leadership, community development, and regional collaboration: St. Vincent & the Grenadines Tourism Authority, DHL St. Vincent, Bank of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (BoSVG), General Employees Co-operative Credit Union (GECCU), Argyle International Airport (AIA), Swiftpac St. Vincent, Unicomer Limited, LaVue Boutique Hotel, Gaymes Book Centre, and the St. Vincent Planned Parenthood Association.

The organisation noted that these partnerships are helping to create a brighter future, together in Hairouna. They also extended an invitation to additional sponsors to join the movement of young leaders and changemakers—whether through financial contributions, in-kind donations, or service support.
