Mission Statement
In an environment that fosters true friendship, the North Canton Jaycees offer the best opportunities for personal development and community service to men and women 18 to 41 years of age. The North Canton Jaycees give individuals the tools they need to build the bridges of success for themselves in the areas of business development, management skills, individual training, community service, and international connections. We are young adults who want to make a positive difference in our community. Much of the leadership training is accomplished through planning and participating in community service and fund-raising activities. Other leadership skills are learned by teaching skills to newer members, and serving as an officer on the Executive Board.
