Embodying the line of the Jaycee Creed that states, “The brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations,” this area provides an opportunity for individual members to contribute to the development of goodwill, understanding, and cooperation among all peoples. Programming in this area would encompass all projects and programs that enhance a member’s knowledge of different cultures and countries around the world. This includes the following two Commissions:

1. State, National and International Junior Chamber Involvement Commission–This Commission includes all state, USJC and JCI emphasis programs. Examples Include:

State Priority Projects: Dream Oaks Camp/Foundation for Dreams

USJC Priority Projects: Outstanding Young Farmer, Ten Outstanding Young Americans, American Cancer Society, Support Our Troops, Rileys Toys, Green Initiative

JCI Priority Projects: CYEA, BNE, BBP, Nothing but Nets.

2. International Involvement Commission–Projects in this Commission include those that provide assistance to or promote understanding and communications between the chapter and people outside the United States. Junior Chamber members recognize the fact that the present world problems can often be solved through international collaboration, tolerance and friendship. Members put this belief into practice by collaborating in joint worldwide projects. Examples include: Twinning, Food Drives for Other Countries, International Guest Speakers.
