​Attend our next Membership Meeting which is held the first Thursday of every month. Our meeting place changes every month to help support local businesses. See our Facebook page for location. Meetings begin at 7:00 p.m.  

We are a chapter of the Pennsylvania Jaycees, the United States Junior Chamber, and Junior Chamber International (JCI), a global organization.

Active citizens are individuals who identify challenges, engage the community, and take action to create sustainable solutions in the community.

The Jaycees gathers active citizens from all sectors of society.

We develop the skills, knowledge and understanding to make informed decisions and take action.

As globally minded young people, we all have rights, responsibilities and share goals.

We find targeted solutions to local issues benefitting our communities, our world and our future.  Embracing new ideas, collaboration and diversity, we have the passion and courage to address the critical challenges of our time.
