 Our Chapter was incorporated in Alexandria, Minnesota, in 1949.

Currently, about 30 adults aged 21 to 40 are members of the Alexandria Jaycees.

The Alexandria Jaycees organization is run by a volunteer Board of Directors elected by the general membership.

Monthly Chapter Meetings

The Alexandria Jaycees meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm at the Glenwood State Bank in Alexandria.

Attending monthly meetings are your best way to meet the people in charge of projects that interest you, sign up for projects, and get involved.

Speakers

Guest speakers are invited several months of the year to educate, inform, or entertain the group.

  • Membership Networking Nights
  • Beetles Membership Recruitment Night

Areas of Opportunity

  • Community Service
  • Leadership Development

Why Should I Join?

Young adults join the Jaycees for a wide variety of reasons:

  • Some are new to the area and want to expand their circle of social and business contacts.
  • Others have a desire to give back to the community in which they live and/or work.
  • Still others look at the opportunities for leadership training or personal growth.
