WELCOME!
The Jaycees (Junior Chamber of Commerce) are a community
service and social organization. We make a difference in our member’s
lives and in our communities through community service projects and
leadership development opportunities. There are many worthwhile
community service groups, such as the Kiwanis, Elks, Lions and Rotary,
but they tend to cater to the older group of people. The Jaycees are
established for a younger crowd and we offer opportunities that fit our
generation and lifestyle. Ideas for our projects and social activities
come from our local members deciding what is best for their individual
communities’ needs and desires.
When you join the Jaycees, you are becoming part of a
much larger community of people with common interests. You join
your local chapter, the Colorado Jaycees, United States Junior Chamber,
and the Junior Chamber International. You choose how active you want to
be at any level of this organization. You will feel great about
belonging to an active group of people making a difference and meeting
many new friends along the way to socialize and network.
The
Colorado
Jaycees
The Colorado Jaycees, led in 2008 by President
Matt McGuire, are a young person’s
organization of choice. The group’s membership decides on the
charitable and educational programs it wishes to participate in. The
Jaycees will foster individual growth and leadership skills through
running these programs. Some communities will enhance the opportunities
for personal development and achievement for participation in
governmental affairs of their community, state and nation. The Jaycees
provide the tools for success in areas of business development,
management skills, individual training, community service and
international connections.
Vision:
“To be…
The organization of choice
for young people, providing direction and leadership to our communities
in the state of
Colorado
.” Let us “Lead the
Way”.
Mission
Statement:
“To provide young people
the opportunity to develop personal and leadership skills through local
community service and organizational involvement while expanding the
Jaycee movement.”
The Jaycee Creed
WE
BELIEVE:
That
faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life;
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 great treasure lies in human personality;
And that service to humanity is the best work of life
