Who are the Jaycees?
The United States Junior Chamber (Jaycees) gives young
people between the ages of 21 and 39 the tools they need
to build the bridges of success for themselves in the
areas of business development, management skills, individual
training, community service, and international connections.
Established
in 1920 to provide opportunities for young men to develop
personal and leadership skills through service to others,
the Jaycees later expanded to include women, reflecting
the growing influence and leadership of women in America.
For
the past 83 years, Jaycees have been a force for good
in America and around the world. Jaycees helped establish
AirMail services in America with Jaycee Charles Lindbergh,
and have raised millions of dollars for causes such as
the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the March of Dimes.
They have built parks, playgrounds, hospitals, ball fields,
and housing for the elderly while conducting service and
support programs in thousands of communities nationwide.
Jaycees
can be found in all walks of life: governmental leaders
such as past Presidents Bill Clinton & Gerald Ford,
business tycoons such as Domino’s Pizza mogul Tom
Monaghan, registered nurse and former Miss America Kaye
Lani Rae Rafko-Wilson, sports heroes like basketball great
Larry Bird – name the field and Jaycees can be found
at the forefront.
With
the focus of the nation on volunteerism, from the smallest
towns to the largest cities, the Jaycees are enlarging
areas of opportunity for young people.
