Chapel Hill Jaycees, Creating Positive Change

The Chapel Hill Jaycees provide the opportunity for young adults (age 21-40) to develop personal and leadership skills through local community service, social responsibility, entrepreneurship, and organizational involvement, resulting in positive change.

What does that mean?

We have fun while helping community service organizations, learning about new topics, and business networking with other professionals.

· Community Development: We help local non-profits, including Habitat for Humanity, Ronald McDonald House, Cornucopia House, Kid-Zoo, and the Chapel Hill Fire Department.

· Individual Development: We have learned about how to make our homes more secure, why is recycling really important, and heard from the mayors of both Chapel Hill and Carrboro. We have also gone tubing on the Dan River, eaten sushi, and taken a Wine for Dummies class.

· Membership Development: Membership socials can range from having a cookout at a local apartment complex to having a “happy hour” at a local bar and grill.

· Management Development: Our annual Yard Sale raises money for the Chapter and for the NC Jaycee Burn Center, located at UNC Hospital. We also work a concession stand at the Durham Bulls Game. We also network with the Chapel Hill Carrboro Chamber of Commerce.

If you're looking for a chance to meet people, make new friends, serve your community and have great fun, come to one of our meetings or send us an email to info@chapelhilljaycees.org.
