Community Development VP - Kim Rausch

Why I joined: I was a 4-H kid and did a lot of community service focused activities growing up. As a young adult I really started to miss volunteering so when a college friend told me about this fun group she'd joined, known as the Jaycees, I had to check it out. Between the community events, individual development opportunities, and socials it didn't take long for me to get hooked!

International VP - Erin Bryan

Member Since: July 2006
Why I joined: I was new to the Twin Cities area and looking for a group of people my age who were interested in community service. I met with the chapter president and another member, and I immediately connected to the types of projects they did and the social aspect of the organization. It was exactly what I was looking for! I've been a member for more than 13 years and this organization has given me so many skills, including public speaking, project management, budgeting, leadership and more. But it's also given me pride in my community and some of the most amazing friendships! This is an incredible organization to be part of.
