Junior Civitan International is a student-led service organization for middle and high school students.

While individual clubs are free to pursue their own projects, on an international level Junior Civitan is focused on service to the developmentally disabled.

The Dance-A-Thon started in Oakville, Ontario, and for many years lasted 25 hours, usually ending with the song "Taking Care of Business."

Junior Civitans who attend the convention participate in international officer elections, business sessions, workshops, dances, and social activities.

This event gives every member a chance to meet other people within the organization and begin planning activities for their clubs.
