Community Area of Opportunity:
Embodying the line of the Jaycee Creed, which states "Service to humanity is the best work of life," this area develops the sensitivity of individual members to societal problems and community dynamics by providing experience in community problem solving. One of the most successful projects accomplished by the North Columbus Junior Chamber was in this area and is the affordable senior housing called Jaycee Arms and Jaycee Village. Today we hold our meetings and have an office in the Jaycee Village Building.

The Junior Chamber "concept" is a process by which the "whole chapter" can offer its members a "total experience" -- personal growth, development of their managerial skills and effective service to their community. By offering the leadership training in all the areas needed to be a True Leader, the North Columbus Junior Chamber gives its member a true value for their membership by eliminating the need to join multiple organizations to acquire the skills necessary to be a True Leader.
