What is JCYM?
See what our long-term members & new members
have to say...
-
I have enjoyed every moment of JCYM, the friendship, the programs, the leadership and, most of all, the many ways of giving of one ’s self….
-
JCYM is passionate about doing for others, both within our community and within our organization.… I treasure them for that compassion.
-
We play together; work together and the rewards from our philanthropies are limitless.
-
I feel I receive more than I give. When someone in JCYM has a care or concern, the love and support is amazing.
-
Giving, caring, loving friends
-
JCYM allows me to balance my career and family…. We have a common goal to serve our neighbors in need.
-
Requirements are easy…. exposed me to my community and its needs, to new friends who support each other and still allows me to enjoy my family.
-
JCYM is the sorority I didn't belong to in college.
-
JCYM is a group of women committed to improving their community through simple kind gestures.
-
I joined JCYM to have an opportunity to volunteer for a number of charities. Along with that came some wonderful new friendships that I now cherish.
If you would you like to learn more about JCYM, we would love to have you join us at a meeting!
