Each year, through a citizen participation process, JCCI identifies a number of significant community problems and selects two for concentrated study. Diverse study committees meet weekly for six to nine months, gain a thorough understanding of each study issue, reach consensus on key findings, and recommend solutions.
Following completion of the study process and the publication of a report, a new citizens' implementation task force takes the report to the community and seeks to place issues on the community agenda. The goal is to seek further deliberation, increased public awareness, and finally, action by appropriate officials.

The JCCI study process engages citizens in community improvement through learning, consensus building, and advocacy. The entire process is conducted by citizen volunteers, with volunteer leadership and staff assistance.
JCCI has developed written guides for the three phases of the study process, each of which may be accessed here:
|
The Program Committee Guide
The Program Committee uses this process to select community issues to later recommend to the JCCI Board of Directors for approval as a JCCI Study.
The Study Committee Guide
The Study Committee uses this process to conduct a study of an issue approved by the JCCI Board.
The Implementation Task Force Guide
The Implementation Task Force uses the process to advocate implementation of a completed JCCI study. |
