The JCI Declaration of Principles
"We believe:

women are equal. It respects allegiance to one's
country, but, at the same time, reinforces the idea that
man is a citizen of the world. Brownfield put it this way:
"Man-made boundaries have been drawn and redrawn,
separating the human race into many nations. But
across these unnatural divisions there has been an
intercourse in art, science, commerce and religion;
evidence of man's universal brotherhood; proof that man
himself, not his territorial divisions, is of basic worth."
"That economic justice can best be won by free men
through free enterprise..."
The operative words here are ...can best be won..."
Junior Chamber members believe that man should be
free to use his skills and abilities to the limit in improving
his economy. Brownfield expressed it this way: "Where
economic improvement has been greatest, man has
been free to follow his dream of making a personal
fortune by doing something never done before, or by
doing it better." He also said, "...the system of selfdevelopment through private enterprise could be
adapted with variations to suit local conditions in many
parts of the world."
"That government should be of laws rather than of
men..."
This tenet of the Creed simply means that no one should
be above the law, and that the law should be the same
for all people, no matter what status they hold in society.
The government must be based on constitutional law,
accepted and ratified by a majority of the people. The
power to change laws and elect governments should
remain in the hands of a majority of the people.
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United
States, spoke of a government of the people, for the
people, and by the people." This line of the Creed
crystallizes what President Lincoln was talking about so
many decades ago. Brownfield expressed the meaning
this way: "In a free society, the fundamental law is
derived from the people. It is they who hold the final
authority."

wants to go and how it hopes to get there. A clear
purpose brings together everyone in the organization
and provides guidance over the long haul.
An organizations vision must exist on every level within
the organization, not just with the president, directors or
leaders, but also and most importantly, every single
member must know why they are members and what
they are building with their efforts and work for the
organization.
Here are the three main levels where the purpose of the
organization must necessarily exist, be clearly
understood and carefully followed:

JCIs Brand
JCI has established a clear corporate identity and logo
all over the world where JCI is established with Local
Organizations. A logo or image however is not enough to
establish a brand. Local Organizations need to decide
and deliver activities that identify the organization and
promote the benefits of JCI to young people in the

community.
After JCI has already established the logo and name,
Local Organizations need to establish an identity (people
know them by a name and place), established a clear
purpose (what they will do and concentrate efforts) and
then establish a few activities for what they will re known
and recognized.

It is important for a Local Organization to ensure that the
community has the correct perception of what the
organization is, what it does and what it stands for.
Depending on what the public sees or thinks about the
organization will reflect on how the public identifies the
Local Organizations activities. The Local Organization
must be careful to project the image that is aligned with
the Mission:
To provide development opportunities that empower
young people to create positive change.
