Projects
From working in the snow to pouring beer, the Frankenmuth Jaycees are skilled volunteers who organize events from the ground-up. Our calendar year kicks off in January, when a committee runs a food both and chicken-bowling at Snowfest, and wraps up in July with our oldest Frankenmuth Jaycee event, the Volkslaufe.
In between projects, the Frankenmuth Jaycees also host membership meetings and socials like caroling in December. You don't have to be a member to lend a hand; people of all ages are welcome at (most) of our events! The exception is World Expo of Beer, where attendees and volunteers must be 21 or older.
