Friends of the World is an International Cooperation project launched by JCI Beirut (Lebanon) in Feb. 2022.

➽ The goal is to connect Jaycees around the world by assigning penpals/correspondents. The JCI Beirut team will go through survey responses and match you to a correspondent who shares similar interests! You will both receive an email which will allow you to connect with your new friend on https://jvc.jci.cc/.

➽ Participating in Friends of the World will allow you to make new friends, discuss JCI projects and create collaborations, learn new languages, meet travel buddies, share experiences, network for your professional life, expand your business & much more!

➽ In times of unprecedented isolation, friendships - whether in person or online - can really help boost your mental health and emotional wellbeing. Finding likeminded individuals to share enriching and interesting conversations with helps increase our sense of belonging, improve our self-confidence and help reduce stress and anxiety.

➽ Share your new friendship stories on social media by using #jcibeirutfow and by tagging @_jcibeirut on IG - we look forward to seeing them!

⚠ Please make sure you have registered on the jvc.jci.cc platform before filling in this form.
⚠ Hurry, this project will run for a limited period of time only! So go ahead and fill out this 2min survey, share it with fellow Jaycees and get to networking!
⚠ For local chapters willing to participate as a whole, please advise us beforehand via email jcibeirut@gmail.com - we could send postcards, local souvenirs etc.
