Jaycees Q&A’s Why Jaycees? Sure we all want to get ahead in life, but where would America be without volunteers? From a blood drive in a small town, to projects like giant stops on the PGA tour, Jaycees are volunteering. Members also participate in personal training seminars that would cost hundreds of dollars if you had to pay. What is the purpose? To offer people ages 18-40 opportunities through leadership training, community service and personal growth. How much time do I have to commit? Dedicate as much time and effort as you want. Of course, your return on investment will depend greatly on what you want out of your membership and how much time you put into it. How much does it cost to join? Each chapter sets its own dues rate. The amount is very reasonable considering the yield you'll receive. Your dues help run your local chapter, as well as the State, National and International organizations. Is there more than my chapter? When you become a member, you're automatically eligible to reap the benefits of belonging to your local chapter, the local region Jaycees, the Illinois Jaycees, the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce and Junior Chamber International. After I join, then what? It depends on you; there are many diversified activity areas. After you join, all that remains is for you to involve yourself in whatever areas stimulate your interests. If there is something that interests you that the local Jaycees don't do, then we want you to propose a project. Your local chapter, region, state and national Jaycees organizations are continuously improving their programming to better fulfill the needs of the community and the varied interests of all our members. |
