The Ypsilanti Area Jaycees is an organization for young men and women between the ages of 21-40.
We are a group of individuals focused on:
community service,
personal and professional development, and
social and networking opportunities.
We currently have over 120 members, and run 80-100 projects a year. So we truly offer something for everyone. Those projects are run by, and developed by our members -- if you have an idea for a cause you'd like to help, or something you'd like to learn we can work with you to make such a project a reality.
