JCI Grenada

The JCI movement was first registered in Grenada as the Grenada Junior chamber of Commerce in 1952. However, it was October 20th 1960 at the Santa Maria Hotel in St George that the chapter elected its first president David G Otway and became a LOM of JCI West Indies.

The work of the chapter was significant in that it had representatives on the National Disaster Preparedness and Disaster Relief Committees, National Carnival and Cultural Development Committee, Board of Tourism etc. in addition to its projects, Radio Bingo, current affairs radio programme and fundraising activities. It donated the first blood bank to the General Hospital in Collaboration with the Indiana Jaycees.
​
After 26 years of dormancy, the chapter was resurrected and re-affiliated to JCI West Indies in October of 2017. A new generation is  now charting a new course influenced by the past glories of the chapter.
