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 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.
