The United States Junior Chamber or Jaycees is an organization aimed at individuals aged 18 to 40 to help them in business and their professional careers. The US Jaycees was founded in 1920 in Saint Louis, Missouri. In addition to its career building, it also has a service aspect, raising money for charities and doing volunteer work. In 1948, the Junior Chamber International was formed in Mexico City, Mexico expanding Jaycees internationally.

National Organizations federated to JCI are active in more than 6,000 chapters located in more than 100 nations and territories.

The JCI Headquarters was established in 1951 and was located in Coral Gables, Florida, U.S.A., since 1969. In 2002, the JCI Headquarters was relocated to St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A., where the first local organization was founded. The USJC headquarters is currently located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Each year a World Congress is held, the most recent being in Copenhagen, Denmark, at which Edinburgh Junior Chamber of Commerce (EJCC) has won the title of The Most Outstanding Local Chamber in the World.
