Ashburton Jaycee Education and Development Fund
Jaycee was an organisation for men, and in later years women, between the ages of 18 and 40. Its Four Square Badge symbolised the four tenets of the organisation - Fellowship, Action, Service and Education.
When Ashburton Jaycees wound up in 2008 they established a Special Named Fund with Advance Ashburton Community Foundation, to be used "for the development and education of persons who reside within the Ashburton District who are aged between 18 and 40". A portion of the income from this fund is being used to support the Industry Training Scholarships. |
