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, under-standing, 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:
• State, National, and International Junior Chamber Involvement. This Commission includes all state, USJC, and JCI emphasis programs. Consult your state organization for a list of state programs. Current nationwide chapter projects include: Jaycees Against Youth Smoking (JAYS), Outstanding Young Farmer (OYF), Ten Outstanding Young Americans (TOYA), Government Involvement, and Youth Education Services (YES). For a complete list of National Partner programs for 2007 visit the U.S. Jaycees website at www.usjaycees.org. Examples of JCI programs include PRIME, JCI Business Academy, and Best Business Plan in the World.
Note: Chapter visitation programs would be included under this commission. Chapter twinning would be included under the International Involvement Commission.
• International Involvement. Projects in this Commission include those that provide assistance 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 food drives for other countries, chapter twinning, international guest speakers, etc.
