About us
The Pasadena Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees) is the Pasadena chapter of JCI USA, a nonprofit organization of active young citizens who are committed to creating a positive impact in their communities.
We are an organization made up of young professionals between the ages of 21 and 40, who want to improve the lives of those in the Pasadena area through community service.
But, it doesn’t stop there: We’re young, We’re fun, And we get things done! In addition to community service, the Pasadena Jaycees puts on social events and has a yearly exchange with a Jaycee chapter in Japan.
Becoming a member of the Pasadena Jaycees means getting the opportunity to enrich the lives of the Pasadena community and to make new friends to last a lifetime.
The easiest place to start is our social mixer on the third Wednesday of every month. We can't wait to get to know you!
