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.
