Who We Are
USA's Network of Young Active Citizens
The Petal Jaycees are the local affiliate of JCI (Junior Chamber International) and the Petal Area Chamber of Commerce's official Young Professionals group. Since its inception in 1920, JCI USA has provided young adults aged 18-40 a vehicle to help solve problems locally and around the world. We believe we can, and should, address the needs of others through civic engagement. Our membership can be found in all walks of life (and over 100 countries), each sharing a passion for making a difference, an interest in being part of something bigger than themselves, and a desire to grow and expand their horizons by being active in their community.
