Who are the Tuckahoe Jaycees?

The Tuckahoe Jaycees is a not-for-profit organization that provides young adults, between the ages of 21 and 40 years old, leadership training through community service. Through this type of leadership training, members gain knowledge of the tools needed to build bridges of success for themselves in the areas of business development, management skills, individual training, community service, and international connections.

How did the Jaycees begin?

The United States Jaycees were established in 1920 to provide opportunities for young men to develop personal and leadership skills through service to others. The Jaycees later expanded to include women, reflecting the growing influence and leadership of women in America.

For the past 82 years, the Jaycees have been a force for good in America and around the world. The Jaycees helped establish airmail services in America with Jaycee Charles Lindbergh, and have raised millions of dollars for causes such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the March of Dimes. They have built parks, playgrounds, hospitals, ball fields, and housing for the elderly while conducting service and support programs in thousands of communities nationwide.

Who are some past Jaycees?

Jaycees can be found in all walks of life: governmental leaders such as President Bill Clinton and past President Gerald Ford, business tycoons such as Domino's Pizza mogul Tom Monaghan, registered nurse and former Miss America Kaye Lani Rae Rafko-Wilson, sports heroes like basketball great Larry Bird - name the field and Jaycees can be found at the forefront. With the focus of the nation on volunteerism, from the smallest towns to the largest cities, the Jaycees are enlarging areas of opportunity for young people.
