Objectives of JCI TOYM

The TOYM Programme originated from JCI Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World (TOYP) Programme, which was developed by Durwood Howes (Jaycees President, USA) in 1930 and adopted by JCI in 1982. 

Junior Chamber International Malaysia (JCIM) made the decision to include this Programme in its yearly project after launching it in 1985 to commemorate the International Year of the Youth.

The two main objectives of TOYM is to recognise young Malaysians who have demonstrated exceptional achievement through their profession, making significant contributions to the welfare of the community, thereby inspiring other young Malaysians to strive for even greater heights of achievement in the spirit of selfless service to the community’s continued development.
