Supporting Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Just like Civitan, Junior Civitan has a special focus on helping people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This is most visible through the Civitan International Research Center (CIRC) a world-class facility dedicated to research into illnesses such as autism, Rett syndrome, cerebral palsy, Alzheimers, and other brain disorders. Junior Civitans fundraise to support the Civitan International Research Center through All In and other fundraisers. Learn more about the CIRC.
Club, Region, and International Opportunities
Junior Civitan is divided into three levels: International, Region, and Club. In addition to serving their communities, Junior Civitans have an incredible opportunity to grow in their leadership skills by holding officer positions at any of the three levels.
