Our Mission
Statesboro Jaycees’ mission is to provide development opportunities for young people (ages 21-40) to create positive change. Statesboro Jaycees has a long history in Bulloch County and archives until present can be seen at: https://bit.do/StatesboroJaycees_history.

Now that I’ve recently moved back, I knew I had to reconnect and be involved once again. Joining the Jaycees was a natural choice because the organization offers numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth through community service projects, networking events, and leadership training. Being part of the Jaycees allows me to connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about making a difference in the community.

Statesboro Herald 20 Under 40 Class of 2021
WHY I JOINED THE JAYCEES:
I grew up in Statesboro and have always had a love for our community and passion for volunteering. As I got older, I realized I wanted to step out on my own and be involved in the community I love. I was invited to Jaycees by Chris Wiggins and realized quickly that I wanted to join and be a part of this group of young adults with the same love for Statesboro and passion for volunteering as me. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with Jaycees so far and look forward to continuing to serve alongside this great group of people.
