The
Greater Waldorf
Jaycees were founded in 1969 with a
mission of providing leadership through community service. Today,
the chapter is compromised of 230 young leaders between the ages of 21
to 40 that continue to work successfully to make Charles County a better
place to live for everyone in our community. We adopted a focus in
the areas of "Aid to the Elderly", "Aid to the
Developmentally Disabled", "Crime Prevention", and
"Community and Youth Assistance" that has served us and this
community exceptionally well for over three decades.
Through several multi-year, multi-million dollar
projects, the Greater Waldorf Jaycees have literally provided some of
the finest facilities and programs in Maryland, the Nation, and the
World. We have adopted a philosophy that eliminates the normal
excuses for not getting things done. In order to achieve goals
that have a real impact on solving problems in our community, we view
time, money, and availability of expertise, as merely obstacles to be
overcome.
Jaycee chapters throughout the United States and the
world annually submit projects for evaluation by peers to determine the
"Best of the Best". During the past 35 years, Waldorf
has been named the number on chapter is the State of Maryland 19
times. Competing against chapters of similar size at the national
level we have been selected 12 times. In national competition
against all Jaycee chapters we were named the #1 chapter in the United
States twice, and in those same years were selected the number one
chapter in the World. Subsequent to those selections we were
invited to the White House by President Jimmy Carter to receive his
thanks for our community involvement. In addition to the above
overall programming awards, the Greater Waldorf Jaycees have received
over 2,000 single project awards at the State, National, and
International levels. The development of the Jaycee Senior
Citizens Apartments was selected as the single best project in the
United States and the World in 1980. We are recognized throughout
the Nation as one of the strongest chapters in the Jaycee organization
with a track record of sustained superior performance, unmatched
nationally or worldwide.
