The Tampa Jaycees is one of Florida's oldest leadeship development and community service organizations for young professionals. Over the past 80 years, we have been a vital part of this community, starting the Gasparilla Children's Parade, bringing the Miss Tampa pageant to the area, and playing a pivotal role in securing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL franchise. And we continue making a difference to this day, providing volunteers and fundraising support to organizations such as Lowry Park Zoo, Abiltities Foundation, Humane Society of Tampa Bay, Habitat for Humanity, Autism Speaks, Metropolitan Ministries, American Cancer Society, and the Home Association among others.

As the local chapter of Junior Chamber International, the Tampa Jaycees are part of a world-wide network of entrepreneurs, professionals, civic leaders, and other young adults passionate about community service. In fact, many distinguished Americans have been part of the Jaycees family, including former presidents Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan, businessmen Bill Gates and Howard Hughes, and notables such as basketball great Larry Bird, aviator Charles Lindbergh, and former Miss America Lani Rae Rafko-Wilson.

To learn more about the Tampa Jaycees, please email our Membership Vice President, or come to our monthly meeting held at the Quorum Hotel the second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. You can also sign up for our weekly email newsletter below.
