ORGANIZATION OF OPPORTUNITIES
Junior Chamber Founder Henry Giessenbier’s vision of providing young people with leadership through community service can be broken down into five Areas of Opportunity: Business, Management, Individual, Community, and International.

Business: embodying the line of the Jaycee Creed which states “Economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise,” this area provides an opportunity for individual members to contribute to the development and enhancement of the economic infrastructure, prosperity, and well-being for all nations.

Management: embodying the line of the Jaycee Creed which states “Government should be of laws rather than of men,” this area develops the managerial skill of individual members by offering training and leadership experience at all levels of the organization.

Individual: embodying the line of the Jaycee Creed which states “Earth’s great treasure lies in human personality,” this area provides an opportunity for individual members to realize their personal potential through training programs.

Community: embodying the line of the Jaycee Creed which states “Service to humanity is the best work of life,” this area develops the sensitivity of individual members to societal problems and community dynamics by providing experience in community problem solving.

International: embodying the line of the Jaycee Creed which states “That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations,” this area provides an opportunity for individual members to contribute to the development of goodwill, understanding, and cooperation among all nations.
