The JUTS can be described as a democratic, independent, non-profit, non-sectarian and non-partisan student organisation comprising a confederation of local student representative organisations in colleges and universities across Jamaica. It represents and defends the interests of approximately 25, 000 students from 22 tertiary institutions.

The JUTS is a member of the International Union of Students (IUS)

Motto: Building a nation through student representation.

The JUTS also strives to fulfil its Mission Statement:

To represent the tertiary and the young adult population of Jamaica with professional stability locally and internationally while promoting and maintaining their educational, social, cultural and general interests.
