About.

The Jaycees were founded by Henry Giessenbier in St. Louis, MO, in 1915. Henry believed that young people could change the world, and he was right! Young active citizens continue to come together around the world, united by one common goal--to create positive change.

Established in 1938

The Sheridan Jaycees have been the local chapter of JCI since 1938. The Sheridan Jaycees are one of four chapters in the State of Wyoming.

Our Meetings

Membership meetings are held the first and third Tuesday of every month at 6pm. Meetings consist of project planning, membership development, training opportunities, and community speakers. Prospective members are encouraged to attend to learn more about our organization.
