JCI Malta
The JCI Malta Awards
JCI Malta would not exist without the help of its phenomenal members, Local Organisations, partners and senators. This is why in 2020, JCI Malta introduced the JCI Malta Awards to recognise the work of, and thank JCI Malta Local Organisations, National Board Members, Local Presidents, Corporate Partners, Senators and Outstanding Members.
JCI Malta was established in 1994, and it wouldn’t be where it is today without the help and support of hundreds of people who have encouraged it to grow and prosper along the way.
JCI Malta works in order to provide young people with opportunities to develop their leadership skills in a changing world. Through receiving such awards, we want to encourage and thank all contributors to JCI Malta by showing them that their work is recognised and appreciated by their JCI Malta counterparts. Some award winners will also be nominated for JCI awards at the annual JCI European Conference, and the JCI World Congress.
