Our Mission Statement:
Jaycees have Fun while getting it Done!
| Membership Training |
| Many times people comment that state and national officers talk about "growing" too much; that the only thing any elected officer is interested in is just "numbers." Any business in our nation is interested in market share. Increasing your company's market share means being more profitable in achieving what your business has set out to do. For some businesses, market share would be the amount of sales within a given market. Our “business” as Jaycee chapters is to serve our communities while giving young people the opportunity to build key skills for personal and career growth. To be a successful chapter, you need to increase your market share within your community. That is, you need to involve more men and women in your chapter so that you can increase the impact of projects within your chapter. This, in turn, gives more men and women the tools they need to be successful. If you grow the number of members in your chapter, in reality you increase the market share of your chapter. So, there is a reason why you are always hearing elected officers talking about growing the number of men and women within your chapter! Use this section to learn more about how you can help your chapter increase the number of member and find helpful tools to reach all of the chapter's membership goals |
| About the Jaycees |
| The United States Junior Chamber (Jaycees) gives young people between the ages of 18 and 40 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. The U.S. Junior Chamber is a non-profit corporation/organization as described under IRS code 501(c)(4).
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 86 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 and 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. |
