Jaycees Areas of Opportunity

The U.S. Junior Chamber founder Henry Giessenbier’s vision of providing young people with leadership through community service can be broken down into five Areas of Opportunity.  The Michigan Jaycees classify all of their projects by commissions which are then grouped in these areas of opportunity.  These areas are overseen by a Vice President.  In Rochester, we have four VP positions to oversee five areas of opportunity as follows:
