Individual Development

The purpose of Individual Development is two-fold:

1. Personal Improvement.
Through personal development, we can improve our members' family values, spiritual development and vocational skills. In general, this area provides member development needs and wants apart from community service, leadership development and social needs. 

Examples of personal improvement include self-defense, health & fitness, CPR, first aid, crime prevention, car care, how to write a will and social skills and business etiquette and much more! The possibilities under Personal Improvement are truly limitless!

2. Leadership Training.
Leadership training is at the very core of Jaycees. Don't believe everything you hear about leaders being "born with leadership skills." Leadership is taught! And Jaycees is the one organization dedicated to training young people to be better leaders!

Jaycees offers programs and workshops on leadership, project management, financial management, time and stress management, public speaking, communications skills, and more.

We offer specific Jaycee chapter management tools or functions such as "How to Write a Chairman's Planning Guide." In addition, through Individual Development, you'll learn about networking, salesmanship, motivational skills or power to influence, governmental workings, business and marketing plans, and organization building.

Check back often to the Individual Development section of this site to find out what programs and fun projects are being run to help local chapters develop our individuals into better people.

The beneficiaries when such a cohesive combination of chapter functions complement each other, are the individual member and the community.  Only then is it possible to "develop the whole member through the whole chapter" and realize the worth of this total chapter concept.
