About
The New Castle Jaycees, A JCI Member organization, has been serving the community since 1958. We are developing leaders and making a difference in the community. We do this through leadership training, leadership opportunities, and through the implementation of projects initiated by the Jaycees or partnering with other local organizations that enhance the community. Membership is open to adults between the ages of 21 and 40 in and around the New Castle, Delaware area.
​
The New Castle Jaycees typically meet on a monthly basis to discuss which service projects and social outings members would like to pursue as well as hold educational events for members and guests. If you’re looking to meet young professionals who have similar community interests and professional development goals in mind, look no further than the New Castle Jaycees!
