Wilmington Junior Chamber of Commerce


About Us

The Wilmington Jaycees is a leadership development, community service, and social organization for people between the ages of 21 and 40 in and around the Wilmington, Delaware area. Opportunities Changing the status quo takes drive and determination, characteristics of Jaycees. No organization of young adults has come close to the record of achievement registered by members of the Junior Chamber.

Jaycees helped establish AirMail services in America with Charles Lindbergh, have raised millions of dollars for causes such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association, March of Dimes, and the Junior Chamber Family AIDS Network. They have built parks, playgrounds, hospitals, ball fields, and housing for the elderly while conducting service and support programs in thousands of communities.

Involvement Jaycees are involved in serving others. Through projects in local chapters, Jaycees are bettering communities all across America. The organization actively serves people through programs such as business skills development, gun safety training for children, assisting children and adolescents affected by HIV/AIDS, and in the prevention of youth smoking. In 2010 we helped a variety of organizations - include March of Dimes, Ronald McDonald House, Christiana River Cleanup, West End Neighborhood House, Junior Achievement of America to name a few.

Connections It's often who you know that matters in life. Jaycees are people who are connected; connected to business leaders, creative entrepreneurs, elected officials, and other people of influence. And, of course, Jaycees are connected to each other in their chapters, in their states, in the nation and around the world. The Junior Chamber movement is a living, breathing, acting network of personal contacts. Former members include Bill Clinton, John F. Kennedy, Al Gore Jr., and past Supreme Court Justice Warren Burger.

Doing good and having fun since 1941!
