Dexter, Missouri - A group of individuals is dedicated to launching a networking outlet for people 18 – 40 in the Dexter area.

The Jaycees are a great organization to allow young people the opportunity to network, improve their leadership skills, and make a mark in their community all at the same time.  The Missouri Jaycees are excited about the opportunity to become involved in the Dexter community through the creation of the Dexter chapter.

A civic organization for men and women between the ages of 18 and 40, the US Jaycees promote individual and leadership development and personal growth through service to others.  The Jaycees are a part of Junior Chamber International with nearly 200,000 young active citizens and over five million alumni – including several world leaders.  Local chapters are spread over more than 5,000 local communities and 100 countries.  The sense of belonging and responsibility is what leads to the growth of the organization worldwide.  JCI members are proud of the impact they create around the world.

Since 1920, the organization has been a force for good in America and around the world.  Jaycee chapters have built parks, playgrounds, hospitals and established community festivals.  They’ve raised millions of dollars for local charities and for causes such as the American Cancer Society, Relay for Life, Muscular Dystrophy, and more recently for global causes such as fighting malaria and international disaster relief. 

Take the opportunity to become a member of the Dexter Jaycee Chapter to create positive change in the Dexter Community.
