About Us

We are the Cure for the Common Social Life

The greatest friendships develop in our organization. Whether we meet for drinks and dinner, go kayaking and hiking or catch a movie or a ballgame, this is a good group of people to do it with. From picnicking to black-tie dinners there is something for everyone.

We are Leadership Development Organization

The Virginia Beach Jaycees builds tomorrow’s leaders with the focus on self-growth for our members. The way this is accomplished is through a hands on approach to running projects that enhance the local members’ communities.

We are a Community Involvement Organization

The Virginia Beach Jaycees offers many programs and ideas that benefit the community. The local community dictates where the area of emphasis needs to be focused (i.e. running events for kids, job advancement, helping disadvantaged youth, senior visitations). The Virginia Jaycees provides support and training materials so that the local chapters’ programs can be run effectively.

Vision Statement

The vision of the Virginia Beach Jaycees is to be the organization of choice for young adults, providing direction and leadership to our communities, the state and the nation in order to effect positive change.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Virginia Beach Jaycees is to create a better world by empowering young people. We are a people-development organization that seeks to create positive change in ourselves, our organization and our community by helping people through personal growth, leadership development and community involvement.
Everything we do must encourage young people to become members and to take full advantage of our world-class fellowship, community service and leadership training opportunities.
