Jaycee Creed | Mission Statement | Vision | Why Join | Membership Benefits

The Schaumburg Jaycees are a member chapter of the United States Junior Chamber; they are the organization of choice for men and women 18 to 40 years of age who want the best opportunities for community service, individual development, and leadership skills. We are a proactive organization. We devote ourselves to community service in the public interest, to increasing and improving the skills of the individual, and to developing people as leaders of their community.

We are a leadership training organization with a hands-on approach. You provide the ideas, and we provide the tools, the knowledge and the manpower to make it happen. You pick your projects and you design them. We help plan it, build it, do it. We are each others' "go to" team to get things done. The Jaycees are whatever you want to make them.

The Jaycees make people more effective by training them in several disciplines. We teach individuals through classes, socials and competitions, all put together by members. We provide for the community through festivals and charity drives and fundraisers, also designed by members. The projects we run put you in contact with local businesses and government and give you the connections you need to succeed.

In short, the Jaycees are the organization of choice for young people who want to make the most out of themselves.

Jaycee Creed

We believe... that faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life;
that the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations;
that economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise;
that government should be of laws rather than of men;
that earth's great treasure lies in human personality;
and that service to humanity is
THE BEST WORK OF LIFE!
