North Carolina Jaycees Semi-Annual Conventions

The North Carolina Jaycees holds two conferences per year in North Carolina. We typically have a Year-End Convention in January/February and a Mid-Year Convention in July/August. The locations of these conventions vary, but are always held in North Carolina & typically at a hotel with meeting and banquet space. These conferences are a great place for socializing, networking, obtaining training..all of this with the goal of shaping the future of our organization.

Conventions are also where we recognize outstanding local programs, officers and individual members. Find award nomination forms Below

Competitions are held semi-annually at state-sponsored events.  Top performers in these competitions move on to National competitions and, from there, compete at the International level.

Why not try your hand at a variety of events, including speaking, writing, and debating? There’s no better time than now to improve your skills.
