The sole purpose of the Junior Chamber (Jaycees) movement is to meet the personal and career development needs of young people. Every project, every meeting, every experience expands the abilities of Jaycees. Each new situation presents opportunities and choices. Actions are the results of choosing. Personal growth is achieved through each set of circumstances. Ideas are conceived. Beliefs are strengthened. Opinions are formed. Memories are mentally filed away for future reference and use.
Chapters projects serve as a vehicle for hands-on learning. "Off-the-job" training while benefiting society is how Jaycee members transform classroom learning into self-improvement. All the skills to plan, promote, and manage a Jaycee project are directly tranferable to real-life situations. Community Development projects are the laboratory where Jaycee members learn while doing.
