The Wyandotte Jaycees are a community service organization focused on leadership training developed in a fun environment. We offer you the opportunity to develop your leadership skills while serving the community. You are invited to participate in monthly projects which focus on community service but also include other diverse areas such as personal skill development, fund-raising and socials. Project participation can range from helping with the project, to involvement in the planning of the project to running the project. This allows you to learn how to run events and learn how to be a leader in your community.

Above all else, the Wyandotte Jaycees try to focus on making fun an important element of leadership training through community service. We run several many projects annually including the Bishop Park Easter Egg Hunt, the Senior Citizen Spaghetti Dinner and Card Party, Ghost Stories in a Log Cabin, Children's Halloween Party, Family Pizza Social, Haunted House, Thanksgiving Foodbaskets for the Needy, Adopt-A-Family, Guest Bartender Fundraiser for PAWS with a Cause® and Community Tree Planting.

A Brief Chapter History

We become a chartered chapter in April 1976 with Tom Randazzo as the charter president. Some of our first year projects included the Easter Egg Hunt, the Haunted House and Santa's Mailbox. These projects have continued to this day and have helped make us such an important part of our community.

The Wyandotte Jaycees went on to become the best first-year chapter in the Michigan Jaycees and in the following year, the best chapter in our division (we were edged out as best overall chapter by the Waterford Jaycees in a very close race). In 1997, the chapter was honored as the Geissenbier chapter (best chapter in its division) for excellence in programming.

Through the years, we have remained the strong and viable chapter that we are today. We are well known for our annual award-winning Haunted House and provide many touchstone community projects such as the Senior Citizen’s Spaghetti Dinner, Adopt-A-Family, Thanksgiving Food baskets, Community Tree Planting and Children’s Halloween Party. We have assisted the Wyandotte city government throughout the years by donating money to help them purchase computers, Patrol Bikes and a 911 System for the Police Department, Equipment for the Fire Department and Picnic Tables for the recreation department.

As the new century unfolds in the city of Wyandotte, the Wyandotte Jaycees are committed to continue providing assistance to the city of Wyandotte, its residents, and the surrounding community. We are also committed to continuing to help train the future leaders of our community.
