What Are JCI National Projects?
JCI Philippines’ National Projects are large-scale, impact-driven programs designed to tackle some of the most pressing social issues in the country. They are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are implemented in collaboration with local chapters across the Philippines.
From education and public health to restorative justice and community resilience, these projects are more than just short-term outreach. They are long-term commitments to nation-building through responsible leadership.
We JCI Alabang, not only participate, we lead. We encourage our members to design, implement, and scale these projects within our own communities, strengthening the national mission while meeting local needs head-on.
Empowering the Future, One Backpack at a Time
Aligned with: UN SDG #4 – Quality Education
One of the most recognized national initiatives, Bags to School (BTS), is designed to support young Filipino learners, especially those from underserved communities, by providing them with essential school supplies and backpacks.
In a country where many families struggle with back-to-school expenses, BTS offers relief and opportunity. Through generous partnerships and volunteer efforts, JCI Alabang helps bridge the gap between poverty and potential, ensuring that every child has a fair chance to learn, dream, and succeed.
Each backpack delivered carries more than just notebooks and pencils. Tt carries hope, dignity, and a future.
