Jaycee history
Henry Giessenbier
founded the Jaycees in 1920, with 3,000 members, in St. Louis,
Missouri. It was Henry's vision to provide young people with
opportunities which they had little or no access to otherwise
attain. He believed that young people could change the world. He was
right.
His theory was
simple – to offer leadership opportunities to young people, giving
them hands-on experience through serving the community. That concept
has never wavered.
