“My proudest moments have been watching members open up small businesses and tell people that the Jaycees gave them the skills and courage to take that step.”- Austin Jaycee

“It’s fun to watch others that you’ve mentored walk up on stage and get an award, or complete a successful project and know that you may have had just a little impact on someone else – the lives you touch and people that touch your life – you can’t really find that anywhere else.”- Lake Elmo Jaycee

“There has been a great connection between my work with Jaycees and my professional work. I have been able to take the skills learned in one area and apply to the other; allowing me to excel in each.”- St Paul Jaycee

“The Jaycees have made a tremendous impact on me providing hands on learning opportunities that I will use for the rest of my life, both personally and professionally.” – Fergus Falls Jaycee
