What The Jaycees Offer
The Jaycee organization is based on the concept of developing the whole person by utilizing three essential functions: Individual Development, Management Development, and Community Development. These three functions form a triangle to represent the Jaycees' goal, which is to enhance the potential of each individual Jaycee member, as well as benefit the community in which they live. Individual DevelopmentThe Jaycees is an organization that builds leaders. Providing the opportunity for each member to reach his or her full potential is the function of the Individual Development Program. The following are some programs the Wausau Area Jaycees offer to our members:

Community Development benefits our community and our members. The member gains valuable experience and skills from running a project and the community gains monetary donations or services provided through the project. Some of the projects we sponsor for our community are:
The Jaycee CreedFrom "It's Greek to Me!", the US Jaycees member orientation manual. A statement of philosophy and beliefs adopted by The U.S. Junior Chamber and JCI (Junior Chamber International). The Creed was written by the late C. William Brownfield of Columbus, Ohio, in 1946. The Creed was adopted by the U.S. Jaycees in 1947. The words "faith in God" were added in 1951. We Believe...
