Making Australia a better place

Our Evolution

The Foundation’s origin go back to 1976 when The Jaycees Community Foundation Inc was established by the Western Australian members of Australian Jaycees (now known as JCI Australia). JCI was then the world’s largest personal development organisation for young people. The Foundation’s role was to undertake community projects or programs too large for individual Jaycee chapters or that required ongoing management. Its Board comprised senior members of local Jaycee chapters or life members (Senators) of JCI.
