JMI enables young people to develop through music across all boundaries - geographical, social, economic, cultural, geographic and religious. JMI's objectives are: to promote the use of music as a tool to foster intercultural dialogue and cooperation; to facilitate sharing, networking, close co-operation and exchange between members; to promote and support the establishment of sustainable youth-music infrastructures in regions where they do not yet exist and build the capacities of members; to coordinate international programs and projects that build tolerance and understanding among young people; and to study issues of common concern to its members and represent their common interests within international organizations and institutions.
JMI's flagship international projects are: Ethno, folk music camps fostering intercultural learning through peer-to-peer exchange of folk music heritage; Imagine Festivals, multi-style music competitions for youth; JM Jazz World, education and touring program for young jazz musicians; World Orchestra of Jeunesses Musicales, a prestigious pre-professional international youth orchestra; Young Audiences Music Award, a program for developing young audiences and fostering active participating of young people in cultural programs; World Youth Choir, an acclaimed education and touring program for top singers from around the world; and Music Crossroads, a youth empowerment through music program in five Southern African countries.
