We are the Cure for the Common Social Life
The greatest friendships develop in our organization. Whether we meet for drinks and dinner, go kayaking and hiking or catch a movie or a ballgame, this is a good group of people to do it with. From picnicking to black-tie dinners there is something for everyone.

We are a Leadership Development Organization
The Virginia Jaycees builds tomorrow's leaders with the focus on self-growth for our members. The way this is accomplished is through a hands on approach to running projects that enhance the local members' communities.

We are a Community Involvement Organization
The Virginia Jaycees offers many programs and ideas that benefit the community. The local community dictates where the area of emphasis needs to be focused (i.e. running events for kids, job advancement, helping disadvantaged youth, senior visitations). The Virginia Jaycees provides support and training materials so that the local chapters' programs can be run effectively.
