About Jaycees The United States Jaycees is a non-profit, leadership development organization comprising of more than 270,000 young people in over 6,8000 chapters across America. The membership represents a variety of occupations, interests, social and economic levels. The organization's history since its founding in 1920 has spanned the years of service with a two-fold purpose of (1) promoting leadership training and individual development for its members, and (2) providing community service to localities. What is the Jaycee Concept? The areas of Community Development, Management Development, and Individual Development are combined to provide the "total Jaycee concept" offered by the U.S. Jaycees. These functions are an integral part if any Jaycee chapter is to "develop the whole member through the whole chapter." The beneficiaries of a cohesive combination of chapter functions that compliment each other are the individual member and the community. Why should I be a Jaycee? Have you ever thought of what the future will be for your family, the community, the nation if the conditions relating to such things as pollution, crime, health, and safety remain the same? The responsibility and challenge is yours, "to lead or to follow." Will you remain part of the problem, or will you contribute to the solution. What do The Jaycees Offer? First, ask yourself what you want from life. Do you want to seek success? Do you want an active role in the civic life of your community; to meet and work with new acquaintances and interesting people and to enlarge you social contact with others of similar age, economic, position, and interests? If so you should invest your time in the Jaycees. Three Reasons Young People Join the Jaycees 1. The desire for self-improvement. To learn how to accept responsibility, to make decisions, become effective speakers, develop management techniques, to be better employers, employees, and better persons. 2. The desire for community involvement. To have a hand in identifying community ills and then planning and executing action projects to remedy those situations. 3. The desire for fellowship. To meet and associate with progressive young people of the same age bracket with similar interests and objectives. The friendships made are not confined solely to the local community, but extend nationally and internationally as well. What the Jaycees believe in? The Jaycee Creed© We Believe:
That Faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life;
