Who we areThe McHenry Jaycees was chartered in December of 1959. We are a not-for-profit organization that seeks to empower young adults aged 18-40 to create positive change. We provide training, knowledge, and opportunities for you to become successful in your personal life as well as your professional life. We also host events throughout the year for the community including an Easter Egg Hunt, Fishing Derby, a Fireworks show, a Haunted House, and several parades.
The Jaycees is unlike other young professionals groups in that we also focus on more charitable efforts such as supporting Camp New Hope, a nonprofit camp for families with children with life-threatening illnesses to have some fun, and Nothing But Nets, a grassroots movement that provides bed nets to families in Africa to prevent the spread of malaria, a fatal disease. We are also unlike other charity organizations because we offer a wide variety of training such as interviewing skills, budgeting, public speaking, and even some more personal skills like line dancing, pet care, and vehicle maintenance. |
