Simply put, we are the organization of choice for men and women 21-40 years of age who want the best opportunities for leadership development, individual development, management development and community service.
Our
mission
To provide young people the opportunity to develop personal and leadership
skills through local community service and organizational involvement
while expanding the Jaycee movement.
Our
vision
To become the organization of choice for young people, providing direction
and leadership to our communities and nation. "Leadership
Development through Community Service"
Our
purpose
The Junior Chamber organization is "a constructive action
organization of young persons who devote a portion of their time to
community service in the public interest, developing young persons as
leaders of their community." (Taken from The U.S. Junior Chamber of
Commerce Bylaws and Policy Manual.)

The
Jaycee Creed
We believe:
That in God given meaning and purpose to human life;
That
the Brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations;
That economic justice can best be won
by free men through free enterprise;
That government should be of laws rather than of men;
That earth's greatest treasure lies in human personality;
And that service to humanity is the best work of life.
