JCI Bataan · Balanga City · Since 2018

Young leaders, taking action for Bataan.

We are the Bataan chapter of Junior Chamber International. Our members, aged 18 to 40, become better leaders by working together on projects that create positive change in our community.

About JCI Bataan

A local chapter of a worldwide movement of young leaders.

Junior Chamber International (JCI) is a global network of young people aged 18 to 40, active in more than 100 countries. For over a century, its members have grown as leaders through real projects, training, and connections that drive positive change.

JCI Bataan brings that work home. Based in Balanga City, we are a Local Organization of JCI Philippines in the Central Luzon region, and we have been active since 2018. Our members are young men and women who work, study, and do business in Bataan, and who want to grow by serving it.

Run by members, for Bataan. Each year our members elect a new board to lead the chapter, in keeping with JCI's “one year to lead” approach. Meet the 2027 leaders
