Junior Chamber Galway is an organisation for young people between the ages of 18 and 40 and is committed to leadership, development and fellowship. This is achieved through training courses and projects which are conducted in the community.

Junior Chamber is an international organisation and exists in a number of countries throughout the world. Junior Chamber Galway is one of a number of local chapters in Ireland. Each chapter has local meetings once a month and then meets with members from other chapters three times a year. These meetings are referred to as First National and Second National with the third meeting referred to as National Convention and is held in October of each year.

Together these local chapters make up Junior Chamber Ireland and there is a national committee with a treasurer, President, Deputy President as there is at local level. At these national meetings the local presidents discuss issues that might arise for the organisation such as projects that we may or may not want to get involved with. While the presidents are at these meetings, other members usually avail of the training and social events that are organised during the weekend. Local chapters vary a lot in size with some as small as 6 or 8 members. Galway is one of the largest chapters in the country more than 50 members.

Junior Chamber is about opportunities. Through our activities, we provide unique personal development opportunities for our members while at the same time contributing to the economic, social and cultural development of our community.

In essence, what we do and how we do it, makes a difference to our members and to our community.

As Benjamin Franklin once said:

When someone joins our organisation, they become a member of the local chapter - Junior Chamber Galway.

Any organisation is only as strong as it's members and so it is with Junior Chamber. Each and every member is important, not only to his/her chapter, but to the whole organisation. Everybody has something to offer, but more importantly, everybody has something to learn. While individuality is the cornerstone of our organisation, active participation is our hallmark.

Membership of Junior Chamber Galway affords you the following opportunities:

• Training in management and leadership skills through project participation.
• Service to the community through our various projects.
• Training in debating and public speaking through participation in local, national and international competitions.
• Fellowship, fun and an active social programme.
