Chapter Extension Guide
Planned cooperative effort . . . that is how young people in Junior Chamber help fill community needs. Action is the key word.
Today, Junior Chamber provides close to 500,000 young people in more than 10,000 communities around the world with a practical training ground for the future. From this training will come leaders–young people active in the business, civic and cultural affairs of their communities, their nations and the world!
Yet, there are many hundreds of thousands of young people who still have to learn of Junior Chamber; people who would become and actively support the opportunity to develop their abilities and to be of service to the community in which they live. It is to these young people, these communities, that we have the responsibility and challenge to carry the inspiring message so appropriately recorded by founder Henry Giessenbier Jr. in these words:
“From within the walls of the soul of this organization
wherein the foundation of character and good citizenship are laid,
I hope a message will come in the sometime of tomorrow
that will stir the people toward the establishment of a
permanent and everlasting world peace.”
Chapter Extension Manual is just one of the several publications prepared by the JCI World Headquarters. It is our hope that you will find these guides valuable in your chapter’s efforts to extend Junior Chamber’s philosophy and principles to more and more young people.
We welcome your comments, criticisms, and suggestions so that we may continually improve our services to you. Let us know your chapter’s other needs and our professional staff will be happy to assist you. Please be specific in your requests so that we can provide you with pertinent suggestions, publications, and advice. We are here to help you in whatever way we can.
