What do the Marquette Jaycees do? We plan fun events and that allow us to give back to the community and build leadership skills. It could be a happy hour centered around a canned food drive or building a team for the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life. People are always looking for some way to get involved – this is it.
What are the benefits to becoming a Marquette Jaycee? It's that old saying, "You get out of it what you put in." Many people join as a way to connect with peers in the area and meet new people they may not have met otherwise. A common goal for members is to get involved and give back to the community. Some people utilize the Jaycees to build their professional skills – public speaking, project management, team building, etc. You can be as involved as you want to be and have a great time doing it.
It is recommended that you attend one monthly meeting and consider being part of at least one committee. Every chapter is different, but we realize your time is valuable.
I don't know very many people in the Jaycees, only the person who recruited me. How do I get to know others? Almost every member started out the same way. Get involved in a project, and you'll get to know lots of members just like you! There are socials, fundraisers, and even regional, state and national conventions you can get involved in with your chapter!
How do I get more information? We can be reached at mqtjcs@gmail.com. Be sure to tell us a little about yourself, how you heard about our organization, and what interests you have in getting involved (networking, community service, social events, leadership opportunities, etc.).
