JEXCA as an organization is registered with the Social Welfare Department of Bangladesh.
It has voluntary activities like relief works following disasters, scholarship to needy students, welfare to needy JCC employees, etc. It runs Free Friday Clinic (FFC) which gives free medication to poor people in Dhaka and Khulna. JEXCA gives treatment and medicine free of cost to the slum and poor people. Many of the JEXCA members donate monthly to run the FFCs.

The prime objective of doing for the poor is, Cadet Colleges are highly prestigious and expensive education institutes in Bangladesh, where the top students get admitted from the country. But the students have to pay little for their education and living costs there and the rest of the money comes from the taxes of the people of Bangladesh, mostly the poor. So after passing from this institution they feel a moral obligation to serve the people of Bangladesh.
