DeMolay's Mission
DeMolay is the premier youth organization dedicated to teaching young
men to be better persons and leaders. Under the "advisorship" of
adults; leadership skills, civic awareness, responsibility, and
character development are learned through a variety of self directed,
real world applications and activities. DeMolay builds confidence;
teaches responsibility, cooperation and community service; and fosters
trust, respect, fellowship, patriotism, reverence, and sharing.
Tomorrow's Leaders Today
The Order of DeMolay was started over 80 years ago in Kansas City,
Missouri. DeMolay is a character building organization for young men
who are twelve years to twenty-one years of age. In over 700 chapters
throughout the United States, these young men have the opportunity to
develop management, leadership and social skills as they participate in
community projects, sports, and other educational programs. DeMolay
also has chapters in Canada, Brazil, Australia, Germany, Panama, Japan,
Italy, and the Republic of the Philippines.
More than one million young men have been members of DeMolay. Alumni
members include John Wayne, Pete Rose, Walt Disney, Dan Rather, Willard
Scott, Burl Ives, and countless others. DeMolay's alumni are
distinguished leaders including several U.S. senators, state governors,
U.S. astronauts, professional athletes, and major U.S. corporation
presidents.
DeMolay is dedicated to providing a safe environment in an organization
for young men who govern and direct their own activities under the
"advisorship" of adults. The organization develops leadership skills
and character building in the young men who work within the
organization. It helps members to develop civic awareness and
responsibility.
DeMolay provides young men the opportunity to practice leadership
techniques and the real world application of the same through its
chapter activities.
The organization assists young men in growing into responsible adults
with good moral character while providing them a place to go, have fun,
companionship, be accepted by peers and develop solid values. DeMolay
is not only teaching young people about the working tools of life, it
is serving as the cornerstone of our next generation.
