The Spartanburg Junior Chamber is a group of young men and women that join together to improve their lives and their communities. Our goal is to provide leadership training through community service. The Individual Development area sets the Spartanburg Junior Chamber apart from other organizations. While many other groups offer community service and social activities, only the Spartanburg Junior Chamber chapter offers members the opportunity for self-improvement. By chairing a local project, a young person can practice organization, delegation, time and resource management, public relations and motivational skills. The Jaycees (Spartanburg Junior Chamber) also offer training programs, usually at no cost to the member, that teach these skills. Even if a project does not meet its goals, if the chairperson learned from the experience, then it's not a failure.
FUNDING: Fundraisers and community support
AREA SERVED: Spartanburg and other projects that are statewide
