Welcome to the Seattle Jaycees!
The Seattle Jaycees is a professional and personal development organization which provides young people with leadership and management training through community service and individual development. We are devoted to community and individual involvement.
More than a service organization, Jaycees offers men and women ages 21 to 40 the opportunity for skill building and the satisfaction of helping and being part of a team. Members can reach their fullest potential at home, at work, and as concerned contributors to their community. They make contacts that open doors for more successful careers and the friendships developed last a lifetime. Many find the time they spent involved in Jaycee projects to be the most satisfying of their lives. Jaycee programs and projects are designed to benefit the individual member and the community. Both prosper because Jaycee activities bring about an improved quality of life for everyone involved.

The 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.

Visit our calendar link above to see all of our upcoming projects and events.
Family Talk - Children need to know the facts about drinking, and they need to benefit from your experience. They need to know how to apply your values - and theirs - to the choices they will face. Family Talk About Drinking is designed to encourage communication between parents and children about this difficult subject. Many parents don't realize that the best time to have conversations with their children about drinking is between the ages of nine and 11. Contact Crystal German to request a parent guide or to have the Jaycees present the guide to your organization.
