About

We're an organization chartered in Alexandria, Virginia, in 1940, currently comprised of about 100 adults aged 21 to 40. We are a chapter of the Virginia Jaycees and part of the U.S. Junior Chamber, and are sometimes called the "junior chamber of commerce". Our purpose is to provide young adults with civic, social, and business training opportunities. As the second oldest, and consistently one of the largest and best chapters in Virginia, the Alexandria Jaycees have hundreds of members dedicated to serving Alexandria. While working to advance the community and the chapter, Alexandria Jaycee members benefit from program participation which enables them to grow as individuals, professionals and citizens. In addition to civic activities which directly benefit the community, as Jaycee members grow, the community continues to prosper from their contributions.

What Is Alexandria Jaycees?

The Alexandria Jaycees, a chapter of the Virginia Jaycees, works to advance the community and members of the Jaycees program while providing civic, social and business training and opportunities to young adults in Alexandria. While there are hundreds of Chapters of Jaycees around the world, members develop skills and promote their communities in the four areas of community service, leadership and individual development, networking and fundraising. Founded in 1940, the 100 adults aged 21 to 40 that comprise the Alexandria Jaycees commonly are referred to as the “junior chamber of commerce” because of their partnership with the U.S Junior Chamber. The Alexandria Jaycees strive to promote community service through leadership development of its members while continuing to be one of the largest and best chapters in Virginia.
