The
dream and purpose are clearly expressed in these words of the founder of Junior Chamber, Henry Giessenbier:
“From
within the walls of the soul of this organization, wherein the foundations of character and citizenship are laid, I hope a
message will come forth in the sometime of tomorrow that will stir the people toward the establishment of a permanent and
everlasting world peace.”
Giessenbier
had the foresight to believe that character and citizenship could contribute toward a permanent world peace.
