Jaycee Creed

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.

Houston Jaycees



The Houston Junior Chamber or Jaycees is an organization of diverse young men and women (age 18-40) with a membership of over 100 people throughout the Houston metropolitan area. The Houston Jaycees have been providing community service, business opportunities, and leadership training to the area since 1931.

The Junior Chamber is a local, state, national and international organization whose goals are to develop leadership skills through community service. The Houston Jaycees main objective is to build strong leadership skills in our members so they may become more successful in their own lives.

The Houston Jaycees welcomes you to attend and participate in any of our activities and projects. Some of the projects run by the Houston Junior Chamber include:
  • Toy Chest - each year we provide clothing, toys and household supplies to underprivileged children and their families during the holiday season. This past year we helped over 50 children with this project.
  • Star of Hope - the Houston Jaycees work with this organization benefiting the homeless by clothing drives and serving meals to their residents.
  • Five Outstanding Young Houstonians - We sponsor an annual awards event honoring five community leaders with several hundred people in attendance. The recipients of this award are then nominated to the Five Outstanding Young Texans and subsequently Ten Outstanding Young Americans at the national level.
  • Consular Forum - the Houston Jaycees sponsor a series of cultural events honoring the Consular Corps of Houston. The proceeds from this flagship project are provided for international education in the form of scholarships and endowments for local universities including Rice University, University of Houston, University of St. Thomas, and the Institute of International Education.

The areas of opportunity as defined in the Junior Chamber organization are:
  • Community Service
  • Individual Development
  • Business Development
  • International.

This allows the Jaycee organization to create and run projects in a wide range of topics and interests with the main goal of leadership development through project management.

We work hard to strive for excellence in all that we do, and yes, we have a lot of fun doing it. Please join us for our next event, social, or meeting and learn what you personally can gain from becoming a Houston Jaycee.
