Southwest Orlando Jaycees
S
ince 1982, the Southwest Orlando Jaycees has
served as the premiere civic leadership organization in Metropolitan Orlando for young and
mature individuals alike. Today the Southwest Orlando
Jaycees is proud to continue its distinguished history, providing a new generation of men and women personal
and professional development through community involvement.
As a proud member of The United States Junior Chamber of Commerce and as an affiliate of The Florida Jaycees, the Southwest
Orlando Jaycees is honored to promote the basic tenets of the
Jaycee Creed as a platform for civic involvement.
The JAYCEE Creed
We Believe: That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life; That the brotherhood of man
transcends the sovereignty of nations; That economic
justice can best be won by free men and women through
free enterprise; That government should be of laws rather
than of men and women; That earth’s great treasure lies
in human personality; And that service to humanity is the
best work of life.
Membership is open for individuals to join our organization in making
the communities of which we live and work safer and better. Currently,
the SWOJ sponsors the Annual Orlando MLK Parade; The Arthur
“Pappy” Kennedy Prayer Breakfast in Commemoration with Martin
Luther King, Jr. Prayer Breakfast; Etiquette Training events with the
youth; Gift Cards and Baskets donations to families in the Thanksgiving
and Christmas seasons; and Real Estate and Investment Seminars.
The Southwest Orlando Jaycees is aggressively moving to grow and
develop new programs under the leadership of its President Sean Bradford, an Orlando native, Jones High School and South Carolina State
University graduate. “ I want to take the Southwest Orlando Jaycees to
new heights by expanding the events we sponsor and by reaching out more
the community.” Sean mentors young men and women and assist them
in getting into college. As an Usher in his church Mt. Pleasant Missionary Baptist, he sponsors the Youth Usher Board and is a Church
Leader.
