Meet the Leaders: JCI Manila

​Meet the Leaders is a learning series initiated by members of Global Shapers Philippines, created to explore how established organizations develop leaders and create positive impact.

​The first session features JCI Manila, the oldest chapter of its kind in the Philippines and a leadership development and service organization for young men aged 18–40. JCI Manila empowers emerging leaders through personal and professional development while driving community impact in education, entrepreneurship, and environmental sustainability.

​This session also includes a guided tour of the historic JCI Manila clubhouse, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how the organization builds culture, manages operations, and sustains decades of impact.

​Shapers will learn:

• ​How JCI Manila develops leaders through service and structured mentorship

• ​How volunteer-led organizations design and scale community projects

• ​Fundraising, partnerships, and community engagement best practices

• ​How legacy institutions maintain continuity and relevance
