Twinning Program
The JCI Twinning Program is a voluntary and reciprocal agreement between national organizations or local organizations in different countries, regions or cities. The motivation to twin originates from the members in two national or local organizations who wish to establish a mutual understanding and friendship. The objective is to exchange personal visits, ideas, projects and culture. With modern communication and transportation systems, distance is no longer an obstacle. For this reason, twinning is easier now than ever.
​
How to Approach Twinning: Twinning frequently starts with correspondence between two organizations. This form of international cooperation does not require regular visits, and the link lasts for as long as the two organizations wish. Organizations can use twinning to learn more about the culture, problems, and successes of others. This exchange generates positive change through better understanding and cooperation. Joint projects and exchanges magnify the benefits of fellowship through twinning. Below JCI has outlined the steps recommended to facilitate communication with another JCI organization. These activities enable organizations to make contacts with foreign organizations, which may then twin in the future.
