JCI Galway Projects
JCI members participating as part of a project team offers you the opportunity to develop personal and business skills in new areas – perfect for building up your CV and gaining experience for career development.
Local and National Projects
Local projects are projects ran by members of JCI Galway and is an ideal way to get involved while learning new skills. As a JCI member, you can get involved in an existing project or have support in running your own project to make a positive impact in your local community.
