Our Mission

The mission of the Stockton Jaycees is to create a better world by empowering young people. We are a people-development organization that seeks to create positive change in ourselves, our organization and our community. Everything we do must encourage young people to become members and to take full advantage of our world-class fellowship, community service and leadership training opportunities.


The  Junior Chamber of Commerce is the premiere leadership training and community service organization for young adults. The organization serves men and women between the ages of 18 and 40 and has been doing so since 1920. The Junior Chamber of Commerce, also known as the Jaycees, provides opportunities to improve on one's business skills, provides networking opportunities, performs community service, and offers many fun social opportunities. Over 40 chapters are located throughout the State of California, and there are nearly 2000 chapters nationwide. As a member of a local chapter, you are also a member of the California Jaycees, United States Jaycees, and Junior Chamber International.

The Stockton Jaycees in our current incarnation were established in 1993.  We work heavily with the Big Brother's Big Sisters of San Joaquin county, assisting them in a number of projects including  Bowl for Kids Sake and the Mervyns' Back to School shopping spree.  We also work with the Stockton Business Leadership Summit, and participate in the Asparagus festival and the San Joaquin County Fair.
