Junior Economic Club of Berlin
Building the leaders of tomorrow through economic and financial literacy
SPARKING AND FACILITATING BERLIN’S FUTURE
The Junior Economic Club (JEC) of Berlin aims to create a business-minded community of exceptional, ambitious, and innovative international high school students in Berlin. We endeavor to establish an exceptional learning environment through networking events, skill-building workshops, and community outreach initiatives, connecting members with the business experiences they need to make a difference both within Berlin and beyond. JEC also believes deeply in the power and importance of mentorship and aspires to create a society of future business leaders by connecting them to the leaders of the present through specialized seminars and networking opportunities. The Junior Economics Club of Berlin believes that this combination of exposure, inspiration, and guidance is essential to equip students to develop the skills, knowledge, and agility necessary to influence and impact the business world and global economies of today and tomorrow.
The Story of JEC Berlin
The Junior Economic Club of Berlin was founded by four Berlin high school students: Lilly, Arnas, Michael, and Kinza in 2021. Berlin is the largest city and the business capital of the European Union. With one of the most rapidly developing economies, populations, and cultures, it was the perfect opportunity to work towards educating and motivating future leaders. The Junior Economic Club of Berlin will make an investment in Berlin’s future. Members, mentors, and sponsors will cultivate a generation of effective business leaders through economic and financial literacy.
