Junior Chamber International (or JCI) is a worldwide federation of young leaders and entrepreneurs with nearly a quarter of a million members and millions of alumni. It’s an organization in which leaders meet, learn and grow.
History
In 1944, the Junior Chamber International was formed in Mexico City, Mexico expanding the Jaycees internationally.
National Organizations federated to JCI are active in more than 6,000 chapters located in more than 100 nations and territories.
The JCI Headquarters was established in 1951 and was located in Coral Gables, Florida, U.S.A. (1969-2004). In 2004, the JCI Headquarters was relocated to Chesterfield, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis where the first local organization was founded.
Each year a World Congress is held, the most recent being in Fukuoka, Japan, at which Edinburgh Junior Chamber of Commerce (EJCC) has won the title of The Most Outstanding Local Chamber in the World in consecutive years.
