Creating and Engaging Young Active Citizens in the Greater Greensboro Area since 1936
Jaycee Creed
We believe:
That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life;
That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations;
That economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise;
That government should be of laws rather than of men;
That earth’s great treasure lies in human personality;
And that service to humanity is the best work of life.

Helping the Kids
The Greensboro Jaycees have taken 25 children from the Salvation Army Boys and Girls club shopping for necessities during the holiday season on a $3,500 budget. We call this project, Kidsmas Miracle.
