“Earth’s great treasure lies in human personality”
– The Jaycee Creed
The purpose of Individual Development is two-fold:
1. Personal Improvement.
Together, we’re working to improve our members’ family values, spiritual development and vocational skills. In general, this area provides member development needs and wants apart from community service, leadership development and social needs.
2. Leadership Training.
Leadership training is at the very core of Jaycees. Don’t believe everything you hear about leaders being “born with leadership skills.” Leadership is taught! And Jaycees is the one organization dedicated to training young people to be better leaders!
Some ways we meet these purposes are:
- Structured training sessions
- Interactive workshops
- Motivational guest speakers
- Competitive programs
Competitive Programs: Members have the opportunity to compete in Writing, Speaking, and Debate at local, state, national, and possibly international levels.
Training Programs: Programs promote member personal growth and are geared towards developing individual skills or knowledge in a particular area. Individual development trainings usually translate into a member’s personal and professional life equally.
