Junior
Chamber is a worldwide organization with almost 400,000 members in more than 100 countries and territories. The members, young
people between the ages of 18 and 40, work on a volunteer basis in their respective chapters, established in more than 8,000
cities and communities around the world.
Aside
from the age limit, there is no other restriction to becoming a member of Junior Chamber. The members of Junior Chamber come
from many different cultures, races, religions, professions, social and economic levels.
Junior Chamber offers to its members a place to develop
their potential and assistance in establishing links of friendship and business with other members.
In
all activities and in everything they do, it is hoped that members will gain new experiences and new knowledge. Junior Chamber
is a field of experiences where each member is free to express his or her point of view; test new ideas, theories, and concepts;
and have a group of other young people with the same ideals and purposes willing to share initiatives and develop new skills
and experiences together.
In
Junior Chamber activities, members can learn all aspects of leadership. All have the chance to be leaders or members of groups
and teams, learning about human relationships, true concepts and experiences which will be useful throughout their lives.
We
can even say that good human relationships indicate leadership. This is what members can learn through active participation
in Junior Chamber.
