Passport to Civic Leadership is a membership activation tool designed for members wanting to achieve maximum value from their Jaycees membership. Many of the skills obtained by participating in the Passport to Civic Leadership Program, such as public speaking, business writing, and project management, will help Jaycees grow their individual, leadership, and business skills.

Your Chapter President will be contacted to sign off as you complete each task and report your progress to the National Passport to Civic Leadership Program Manager. Tasks can be completed in any order; however, you will remain at the lowest degree until each task is completed under that degree. All questions about the program should be directed to the Passport to Civic Leadership Program Manager at passport@jciusa.org.
