Lead. Serve. Grow
The North Carolina Jaycees empower young people to develop leadership skills, take action in their community, and build a better future.
Leaders in Action
We empower young people by developing their skills, knowledge and understanding.
The North Carolina Jaycees are a network of young professionals, ages 18-40, committed to growth, leadership, and impact. We provide real-world opportunities to develop skills, build connections, and create meaningful change- locally and beyond. Here, you don’t just join an organization- you find a community that empowers you to lead and thrive.
