History
The Birth of East Kowloon Junior Chamber
In 1979, some members from the Kowloon Jaycees, with the support of
their mother chapter, grouped together with other young elites to
establish a new chapter under the Junior Chamber International Hong
Kong.After months of preparation, these young people formed the 'East
Kowloon Jaycees'. The then Chief Justice Sir D. Roberts officiated
the Charter Night and greeted the Charter President Senator Tang Chi
Keung on 1st March 1980. In line with the world headquarters Junior
Chamber International, the organization changed her name to "East
Kowloon Junior Chamber" in 1997.
The Structure
East Kowloon Junior Chamber (EKJC) is a registered
charitable organization. She is one of the 18 chapters of the Hong
Kong Junior Chamber (formerly known as the Hong Kong Junior Chamber
of Commerce); which the latter is affiliated to the world organization
- Junior Chamber International.To run the organization, members elect

to develop members' potential on leadership and management skills.
