The Tyler Jaycees are a group of civic-minded Tylerites, looking to enhance their lives and the lives of others through leadership training and community service. The Jaycees focus on what they believe are the five areas vital to becomming a well-rounded individual. These areas are Community Development, Management Development, Individual Development, Membership Development and International Involvement.
I will admit, really the only thing I was previously aware of the
Tyler Jaycees doing was hosting a really cool Halloween haunted house every year. However, the
Jaycees are active in many more community projects and activities, including an Easter Egg hunt for special needs children, the Lindsey Park 4th of July Fireworks show, and the Tyler Christmas parade just to name a few things.
Anyone ages 21 through 41 can join, and being a member of the
Jaycees comes with several perks, including social and networking opportunities, both personal and professional growth through leadership training, free subscriptions to magazines such as
Newsweek and
Self, and the recognition that comes from being involved with a group as large as the
Jaycees which is recognized in 82 countries.
Tyler Jaycees has given me the opportunity to grow as a individual by introducing me to Public Speaking, Resume Writing, Debate and many more trainings and seminars.
I have made life long friends in the Jaycees from all over the world and connections that would amaze you.
We do GREAT things in our community/world and work with AMAZING individuals.
