SPRINGBOARD PROGRAM

72

The Springboard program is designed to activate and orient the new member within ninety (90) days byproviding an environment in which the new member meets Jaycees, works with Jaycees and learns aboutthe services, programming and other opportunities available through the Jaycees. It is not a difficult program- it's simple. But its simplicity should not overshadow its importance.

The following are the five (5) requirements of the Springboard program and must be completed withinninety (90) days of joining.

1. Attend fifty percent (50%) of the chapter's regular members meetings.The intent of this requirement is to get the new member "rubbing elbows" and socializing with otherJaycees. Attendance of at least half of the regular membership meetings the chapter conducts duringthe new members' time it takes to complete the Springboard program fulfills this requirement.

2. Attend a Springboard orientation.The intent of this requirement is to acquaint the new member with the basics of our organization. Thiscan be a U.S. Jaycees pre-prepared presentation or cover the basic history and accomplishments ofyour chapter to expand the new members' understanding of the Jaycee movement.

3. Help work on or participate in one of the following:a. A Community Development projectb. Attend an Individual Development programc. A Management Development projectThe intent of this requirement is to acquaint the new member with activities of the chapter throughdirect involvement. This is when a new member really begins to feel the true Jaycee spirit, for they areeither doing something positive for the chapter, community or for themself.

4. Share the Jaycee experience by completing one of the following:a. Bring a prospective Jaycee to a chapter activity.b. Assist in recruiting a new member.The intent of this requirement is obvious. Our organization is for sharing! Let's educate our new mem­bers and involve them in spreading the Jaycee movement -their spouse, neighbors and friends are allwelcome.

5. Complete and return the Springboard member survey to The United States Jaycees.This requirement is vital to your organization. The Springboard member survey which is sent to eachnew member in the Springboard magazine, will provide the leadership of The U.S. Jaycees with demo­graphic information to assist in identifying the make-up of the membership of your state organizationand your national organization. This information will greatly enhance the development and funding offuture programs.

Upon the receipt of the Springboard member survey, the completion of Springboard will be recorded onthe new member's personal file in The U.S. Jaycees computer. A record of each new member certifying forSpringboard will be supplied to your chapter via monthly chapter roster reports.

When new members certify their successful completion of the Springboard program, they are auto­matically certified for the completion of Degree one in the Degrees of Jaycees program. At that time, yourchapter should recognize each new Jaycee with either a Springboard certificate or patch and the Degrees ofJaycees certificate with the first degree seal embossed in gold.

For complete information on how to conduct your chapter's Springboard program, order the Spring­board Program Chairman's Guide (catalog no. 5043-0). Also, there is a Springboard wall chart, certificateand patch available in The U.S.Jaycees Sales Catalog. Orders may be placed by calling toll free 1-800­331-3248 or writing to The U.S. Jaycees, Sales Department, P.O. Box 7, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74121-0007.

The United States Jaycees

DEGREES OF JAYCEES PROGRAMThe new Degrees of Jaycees program is an excellent member activation program and a very effective "management tool" for your chapter.

The key to this program is the involvement of your chapter, as it is in all Jaycee management programs.Degrees of Jaycees is designed to provide leadership training to individual members and your chapter by encouraging member participation.

Numerous benefits will result from the Degrees of Jaycees program: 1) Each member who completes the Degrees of Jaycees program will have trulyachieved the goals of "leadership training;" and 2) Your chapter will have developed a resource of trained leaders, which in turn will affect the impactyour chapter has on its members and community.Phases

There are ten (10) degree levels divided into three (3) phases in the Degrees of Jaycees program. The three (3) phases are:1. Involvement2. Experience3. Leadership

The involvement phase covers the first three degrees and has been carefully planned to provide new Jaycees with opportunities toexperience orientation, training, community awareness and sharing Jaycees.

The experience phase covers degrees four, five and six and is designed to let Jaycees use their experiences in the first phase to develop skillsin the areas of activation, action and sharing Jaycees.

The leadership phase covers the last four degrees and has been planned to provide Jaycees with the flexibility to exercise the leadership skillsgained in the first two phases through training and sharing Jaycees.Rules

Because the Degrees of Jaycees is a leadership development process, participants must complete one degree at a time before working onthe next degree level. There are no retroactive items. Therefore, past performance in any qualifying level does not count toward completion of theDegrees of Jaycees program. Also, any requirement achieved for a degree can not be repeated for achievement in another degree.Certification

In the Degrees program, participants must certify the completion of each degree with The U.S. Jaycees. To certify, the participants mustcomplete a Degrees of Jaycees Certification Form after each degree achieved and obtain the chapter president's signature of approval. The chapterpresident must then mail the Certification Form to: The U.S. Jaycees, ATTENTION: Management Development Department, P.O. Box 7, Tulsa,Oklahoma 74121-0007.

Once the Certification Form is processed, the participant's degree level achievement will be recorded on the monthly chapter membershiproster. Specially designed plaques are available for purchase for each phase of achievement. Only participants that are certified in each degree levelwill be allowed to purchase the respective plaque.

The entire Degrees of Jaycees program has been revised. Therefore, present participants of the program will have the option of either 1)completing the degree level they are presently working on under the old program; or 2) begin working on the same degree level in the new program.
