Community Area

This Area of Opportunity gives the member a chance to work with and for his/her community.

The member surveys the needs of the community and organizes projects to cater to those needs. The opportunity to meet important members of the community and the general public is always there; however, the most valuable opportunity of this Area is to make a concrete contribution to one's environment and fellow human beings.

In this key arena, not only can members be of great benefit to their community but also have the ideal workshop for putting into practice the skills they have been developing in their individual and management courses.

The following commissions fall under the Community area:

•    Community Service
•    Community Fundraising
•    Government & Civic Involvement
•    Children & Youth

Examples of York Jaycees Community Projects:
