Meaningful Work. Unforgettable Experiences.
Top Outstanding Young Person (TOYP)
JCI TOYP serves to formally recognize young people who excel in their chosen fields and create positive change. By recognizing these young people, JCI raises the status of socially responsible leaders in this world. The honorees motivate their peers to seek excellence and serve others.
Since 1983, JCI has honored over 200 individuals from 47 nations. Past recipients of national awards include such well-known personalities as John F. Kennedy, Henry Kissinger, Elvis Presley, Jackie Chan, Wayne Gretzky and many more, all named before the age of 40 and before they had achieved national prominence. Honorees selected in past years have represented the heights of progress in numerous human endeavors. Many have gone on to even greater achievements. All have continued to serve humanity in a great variety of ways.
JCI RISE
Following a period of uncertainty, New Zealand, together with the rest of the world, will need to double down on its efforts in regenerating and rebuilding itself, its economy, its businesses and its human resources.
There’s no better way of fulfilling the JCI mission and vision in New Zealand at this point in time than being a force of empowerment to our individual members, our communities and our businesses in each and every country.
RISE is JCI’s reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic from an economic perspective.
It’s a member-driven initiative, encouraging members to develop projects related to the three pillars of RISE:
Sustaining and rebuilding economies by supporting small, local businesses
Motivating the workforce through youth entrepreneurship
Preserving mental health and well-being
This initiative anchors JCI in economic reality, while enabling our global members to move towards One Future.
We need to be active agents of positive change by standing up, supporting and also leading our communities to be better.
#RebuildConnectLead as part of JCI RISE is the way New Zealand JCI members can set a gold standard with projects derived from a simple method.
Together, we can shape a better future for our continent, and set an example for the world to follow.
