What is
DeMolay?
DeMolay is a club for young men between the ages
of 12 and 21. The individual DeMolay clubs are called
"chapters." There are hundreds of DeMolay chapters in North
America and even more around the globe.
A Level of Independence.
DeMolay provides a safe place for young men to have a
greater level of independence. the young men decide on the activities,
plan them, and carry them out from the start to finish. The DeMolay
chapter is run completely by its members. Adult volunteers called
"advisors" are present at every DeMolay event to help when
needed, but they stay in the background as much as possible. DeMolay
advisors are the safty net, the resources, the mentors, and the friends,
but they are not the planners or the leaders. The young men are.
A Safe Place to Grow.
Young people face many tough situations. DeMolay
provides a place where young men can try new experiences and have social
interaction with peers in an environment where they will be safe and
supported. DeMolay members learn responsibility, respect for others, and
how to interact with adults--both as authority figures and as coworkers.
How it works?
Most DeMolay chapters meet twice each month to
vote on how the chapter is run and to plan the chapter's other activities.
Chapters usually have at least one activity per week. Chapters have social
events like dances or parties, fund raising events like car washes or
auctions, athletic events like volunteering at a soup kitchen or cleaning
up a neighborhood.
