Vasco, Goa – June 2025:

In a vibrant and heartfelt celebration, JCI Vasco marked its 59th JCI Founders’ Day at Hotel Supreme, Vasco, bringing together members, dignitaries, and alumni in a tribute to a legacy of leadership and community service.

The event was graced by the Zone President of JCI India Zone XI, JC…. Shaba Gauns, and Zone Vice President JC…. Dr. Shilpa, adding great significance to the occasion. Their inspiring presence reaffirmed the enduring impact of the Junior Chamber International (JCI) movement in the region.

Adding to the occasion’s importance was the presence of several Past Presidents of JCI Vasco, whose leadership and contributions over the years laid the foundation for the organization’s continued growth and relevance.

JCI Vasco holds a special place in Goa’s development journey. The chapter was founded in 1966 by an Irish gentleman, Mr. Ian Naylor, whose pioneering spirit introduced the JCI movement to the region. What started in Vasco soon inspired the establishment of new chapters across Goa and parts of Maharashtra, creating a ripple effect of youth development, leadership training, and civic participation.

At its core, JCI focuses on:

Leadership and personality development

Community service projects

Entrepreneurial skills training

International networking opportunities

Over the decades, JCI Vasco has become a beacon of this mission, nurturing leaders, organizing impactful community events, and inspiring countless youth across Goa.

As JCI Vasco enters its 60th year, the celebrations are not just about honoring the past, but also about envisioning the future. With a new generation of young leaders stepping up, and a strong support system built over five decades, JCI Vasco continues to uphold the ideals of active citizenship, development, and service.
