Welcome!

WHAT IS THE

GRAND RAPIDS JUNIOR CHAMBER?

IT'S QUITE SIMPLE.

 

We are a leadership development organization that turns everyday go-getters into confident, change-making leaders — and we’re so much more than just a networking group. We are the foremost global network of young leaders.

Turn Your Network Global

We are an affiliated chapter of a much larger organization, Junior Chamber International. Our members benefit from growing a network with other individuals on a global scale!

WHY SPONSOR EMPLOYEES?

INVEST IN THE TRAJECTORY OF YOUR FUTURE LEADERS

Grand Rapids Junior Chamber members learn to drive real results and impact through several different modules over the course of their membership.
