The New Jersey Jaycees have been an active and vital part of our state for over sixty years. The goal of the Jaycees is to build tomorrow's leaders today through community, individual, and management development.

Community - You are probably most familiar with the New Jersey Jaycees' community projects. These can range from large, nationally based projects to very small efforts that help 1-2 people. We generally support causes that our members are interested in or those that are greatly needed in the community. Past projects where the New Jersey Jaycees have either sponsored or been involved with include:
                Child Shield in Westfield
                Top 40 Under 40 in Atlantic City
                Easter Egg Hunt in Phillpsburg
                Firecracker 400 on 4th of July in Cranford
                4th of July Parade in Florham Park
                Jaycee Carnival in Lincoln Park
                Halloween Parades in Cranford, Florham Park, and Phillipsburg
                Jaycee Angles in Lincoln Park

Individual - Our members grow both socially and intellectually through a variety of fun projects we do. These include monthly socials and dinners at area restaurants and taverns, camping trips, golf outings.

Management - As a part of the United State Junior Chamber of Commerce, our roots are based in improving the business skills of our members. All members have the opportunity to improve their organizational and budgeting skills by chairing projects. Other members improve their public speaking and people skills by taking an office and helping to lead the organization. In all cases, there is an on-going mentorship between experienced and newer members.
