The Jaycees provide young people (18-40) the opportunity to create positive change in our communities and in the world. The age limit allows the organization to stay fresh and young and readily adapt to the times.
The Jaycees are part of an international organization with nearly 200,000 young active citizens and over five million alumni – including several world leaders. Local JCI chapters are spread over more than 5,000 local communities and over 100 countries around the world. JCI members are proud of the impact they create around the world. The sense of belonging and responsibility is what leads to the growth of the organization worldwide.
