Junior Civitan Clubs




As the vice president of sales and marketing for the Wise Staffing Group in Tupelo, Mississippi, Marcus L. Clegg sets pricing and devises marketing strategy for the company. Success in business has also allowed Marcus Clegg to contribute to some of his favorite organizations, including Civitan International. 

As a volunteer service organization, Civitan International helps communities and individuals around the world. In order to ensure the future of the group, Civitan International has created a Junior Civitan program to introduce young people to the many volunteer opportunities available and how being a volunteer can benefit them. The Junior Civitan group often works alongside their sponsoring Civitan club on community activities and in schools.

Junior Civitan clubs can be found in schools and community-based groups, operating as a self-governing organization under the supervision of a faculty advisor, electing their own club officers and Junior Board of Directors. Junior Civitan has a particular focus of helping individuals with developmental disabilities working through the Civitan International Research Center.
