The Jaycees gives young people between the ages of 21 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. Our motto, "Change Your World" truly explains what the Jaycees do in small and large ways. Jaycees are a hands-on group. Rarely will you see us simply sending someone a check. Rather, we will be jumping right in to help someone out by planting trees in a park, painting rooms in a community center, collecting books for needy children, or hosting a run/walk. Jaycees are out in the community, actively helping to change our world!

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 air mail 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.
