Chapter 3: Affiliation

ARTICLE 3-1.    AFFILIATION:

The National Organization shall be affiliated with Junior Chamber International, hereinafter referred to as “JCI” and this shall involve:

  1. Acceptance of the JCI Declaration of Principles and Purposes, which reads as follows:


  2. The principles of Junior Chamber, inspired by the JCI Declaration of Principles, are based on a belief in:

    1. Faith in God
    2. The brotherhood of man
    3. Individual freedom and dignity
    4. Government of laws
    5. The value of human personality
    6. Service to humanity.

  3. Compliance with the Constitution of JCI insofar as this affects the National Organization.
COMMENTS ON ARTICLE 3-1:
Some National Organizations would prefer to include the JCI Creed in full instead of only mentioning the JCI principles. The sub point of Article 3 1 will then have to be rewritten accordingly.
"We believe:
  • That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life;
  • That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations;
  • That economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise;
  • That government should be of laws rather than of men;
  • That earth's great treasure lies in human personality;
  • And that service to humanity is the best work of life."
