Our Mission: Jacksonville Community Council Inc. (JCCI) is a nonpartisan civic organization that engages diverse citizens in open dialogue, research, consensus building, advocacy and leadership development to improve the quality of life and build a better community in Northeast Florida and beyond.
What We Do: JCCI has been called Jacksonville's "citizen think tank." This is the place where community-minded people get together to explore issues of community importance, identify problems, discover solutions, and advocate for positive change. All are welcome to participate - every voice is needed and every thought matters.
JCCI is perhaps best known for our work with:
- Community Indicators, including the Quality of Life Progress Report, Race Relations Progress Report, and the Community Snapshot.
- Community Engagement, including our 35 years of studies, implementation advocacy for study recommendations, and opportunities for public dialogue around critical issues of local interest.
- JCCI Forward, our leadership development program designed to engage people in the community.
Our History: JCCI was created in 1975 as a result of the Amelia Island Community Planning Conference to examine community issues by bringing together a broad cross section of the population. Over the last 35 years, JCCI has provided a forum and a structure through which groups of informed, concerned citizens have made a difference in public policy decisions.
