Mission Statement
The mission of the NJ Junior Chamber of Commerce is
to promote and foster the growth and development of
local chapters in New Jersey embodying the essence
of the Jaycee Creed. The state organization via it's
local chapters are to become a non-partisin force
for good in the community, determining community
needs and providing solutions by planning and
facilitating community service projects. In the act
of serving, members receive hands-on experience,
which translates to the enhancement of personal
growth and the development of valuable leadership
skills. Through civic
involvement NJ Jaycees will help to provide members
with an avenue for intelligent participation in the
affairs of the community and the opportunity to
develop true friendship, business opportunities and
networks among young persons throughout the state
and nation.
The Jaycee Creed — A
statement of philosophy
and beliefs adopted by the U.S. Junior Chamber and JCI.
The Creed was written by C. William Brownfield of
Columbus, Ohio in 1946
WE BELIEVE:
That faith in God gives meaning
and purpose to human life;
That the brotherhood of man
transcends the sovereignty of nations;
That economic justice can best be won
by free men through free enterprise;
That government should be of laws
rather than of men;
That earth's great treasure lies in
human personality;
And that service to humanity
is the best work of life
