ABOUT 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 81 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 President Bill Clinton and past President
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.
