About Us

    The Delta County Jaycees is a service organization for people between the ages of 21-40 that provides leadership skills through project management and community service.
 
    Established in 1920 to provide opportunities for young men to develop personal and leadership skillsthrough service to others, the Jaycees later expanded to include women, reflecting the growing influence and leadership of women in America.

    For the past 89 years, Jaycees have been a force for good in America and around the world. 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.

    Jaycees can be found in all walks of life: governmental leaders such as past Presidents Bill Clinton & 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.
