The Michigan Jaycees
The Michigan Junior Chamber, or more commonly Michigan Jaycees, is a leadership training and civic organization for people between the ages of 21 and 40. The Jaycees were established January 21, 1920 to provide opportunities for young people to develop personal and leadership skills through service to others. Members improve their leadership and management skills by running projects in the community, while networking with like minded individuals along the way.
Since the organization's founding, Jaycees have been involved in civic, national and international affairs. Jaycees helped establish Airmail 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.
Jaycees can be found in all walks of life: governmental leaders such as past Presidents Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford; business tycoons such as Domino's Pizza mogul Tom Monaghan; registered nurse and former Miss America Kaye Lani Rae Rafko-Wilson; sports legends such as basketball great Larry Bird; and recording artists such as Bradley Joseph.
