Junior Chamber International (JCI) is a worldwide association of young people between the ages of 21 and 40. Founded in America in the year 1915 with only 32 young men, JCI has grown to over 200,000 members in more than 100 countries around the world today.Mission:To provide development opportunities that empower young people to create positive change.Vision:To be the leading global network of young active citizens.History of JCI:Almost a century ago, Henry Giessenbier, Jr. decided to take responsibility for the progress and welfare of his community by helping tackle difficult problems around him. Together with 32 other young men, Giessenbier established the Young Men's Progressive Civic Association, JCI's first Local Organization, in St. Louis, USA in 1915. The members of the first Local Organization dedicated themselves to bringing about community improvements and giving young people a constructive approach to civic problems. By 1944, the movement had spread through eight countries. When delegates from these countries met in Mexico City at the Inter-American Conference that year, they agreed it was time to officially form Junior Chamber International. This deep-rooted tradition of bringing together active citizens from diverse backgrounds remains alive today in our international events. They fuel the JCI movement and set the groundwork to create positive change that transcends boundaries.JCI City ChapterJCI Vice President for Asia Mr G M Feliciano of the Philippines, visited Singapore and addressed a group of young men, inspiring them with the aims, ideals and aspirations of the Jaycee movement.Junior Chamber of Singapore (then known as the Singapore Junior Chamber of Commerce) was officially born on 8 December 1949 with Ted Goh as President supported by 30 members.The Singapore Jayceettes was an independent organization insofar as the Constitution & By-lays are concerned. This gave rise to problems of presentation to JCI. The solution was then for the representatives of the Junior Chamber and Singapore Jayceettes to draw up the National (NOM) Constitution.A pro-tem NOM committee was formed in 1973 which also recommended the creation of two new chapters (LOMs) Serangoon and Jurong. With the formation of these two new LOMs, a fresh submission of the constitution of the four LOMs was made to the Registrar for approval in late 1973.On 2 April, 1975, the Registrar of Societies formally gave us a reply which included also a guideline on the desired constitutional structure. Several changes were made in the chapter level in 1973. Jurong and Serangoon Chapters merged to form Merlion Chapter; the Singapore Jayceettes was dissolved becoming Orchid Chapter and the founding chapter became known as City Chapter.The Singapore Jaycees was decentralized and the City Chapter name is now known as City Junior Chambers, Singapore.
