Jaycee: Developers of People; Builders of Communities
Author(s): Graham Butterworth
In its heyday from the 1940s to the 1980s, New Zealand Jaycee was one of the liveliest service organisations in the country. Its members were indeed both 'developers of people' and 'builders of communities'. The organisation's impressive contribution to the social infrastructure of New Zealand after World War II is well known. Every community had amenities built or aided by the Jaycees. Its role in training leaders in politics, local government and business is less well known but many an MP and mayor learned public speaking and meeting procedure in a Jaycee chapter. Jaycee was also an international movement that looked to foster world peace through democracy, trade and international brotherhood. New Zealand Jaycees boxed far above their weight in the international body, taking a strong lead in the Asia-Pacific region. 293 pages
