Want to become a Leader in Detroit? Then the Jaycees is for you! If you haven't done so already, it's really easy to join the Detroit Jaycee Chapter. We invite you to come help us "lead the way" to positive changes in Detroit. We are very optimistic about the future, and we've got the people to get things done! Detroit Jaycees is quickly becoming the organization of choice for young adults (age 21-40) in the "Motor City," providing direction and leadership for our communities.

The main focus of the leadership training with the Jaycees organization is achieved through running projects. Members can take on many roles within projects - from chairing a project to helping carry it out.

Some of the projects DJC have hosted in since forming in 2004:

• Sponsorship of Detroit Opera House's Bravo Bravo!,
• Annual Jaycees Bowling Night,
• Family Game Night,
• Wine Tasting,
• Food Service @ Ronald-McDonald House (w/Westland Jaycees),
• Karaoke Pub-Crawl,
• Jamaican Cultural Night (w/Wyandotte Jaycees),
• Tiger's Game Event.

We've also offered workshops on various topics, including the following:

• Debt management,
• Personal mission statement,
• Savings and investment,
• Resume writing,
• Networking.

Besides hosting projects and workshops the Detroit Jaycees have been busy in other ways was well by attending city council meetings, participating in Breast Cancer Walk-a-thon, Walk2gether Michigan and ACS Relay for Life, volunteering with Motor City makeover and Mayor's Time and the chapter was able to coordinate sponsoring a family that moved to Detroit from Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina.

The Detroit Jaycees focus on three areas of opportunity:

• management: promoting business partnerships and good business practices;
• community: promoting community service and outreach;
• individual development: promoting personal and professional development.

The Detroit Jaycees provides great opportunities for personal training, community service and governmental involvement. The Detroit Jaycees provides a strong organization for young people to help make a positive and lasting difference. The leadership and managerial skills developed through participation and chairing projects enhance our members both professionally and personally. We build leaders!
