The CU Jaycees are a vibrant, fun-loving, and passionate group of individuals dedicated to making a difference in the Champaign-Urbana community. Whether someone is looking to connect, give back, or simply have a great time, the CU Jaycees offer opportunities for everyone. They are well known for their Jaycees on Tap events, which blend socializing, networking, and fun, providing a space for members to share stories, meet new people, and build lasting friendships. The group also hosts coffee socials at local spots like Mad Goat Coffee, offering casual opportunities to connect, share ideas, and learn more about the organization.

Giving back is central to the CU Jaycees' mission, as demonstrated by their annual Holiday Toy Drive, which supports a local children’s home through a virtual wish list, making it easy for the entire community to participate in spreading holiday cheer. They also turn fundraising into a fun and engaging activity with events like Super Bowl Squares and March Madness Brackets, where friendly competition supports meaningful causes.
