Since first becoming a JCI officially endorsed program at the 1987 JCI World Congress in Amsterdam, over 2,500 Global Networkers have graduated from the JCI Academy, which has now been held 24 times.

Each year, the JCI Academy aims to achieve the following four goals:

1. Deepen mutual understanding among the participants which are comprised of both members of JCI from around the world and members of JCI Japan from around the country.
2. Offer training opportunities for the global leaders of tomorrow.
3. Make JCI an even better organization and contribute to its overall development.
4. Contribute to the realization of the establishment of a permanent and lasting World Peace.

The 25th JCI Academy in Sapporo will enable the participants, and future leaders of JCI and the community, to deepen mutual understanding while also providing an opportunity for the members of JCI Japan to build a network with the future leaders of JCI from around the world, so that they can be more active at the international level.

The 25th JCI Academy will serve as a forum for the development of more Global Networkers, by providing outstanding leadership training, thereby allowing them to become the driving force behind the establishment of lasting World Peace.
