A Level of Independence
DeMolay provides a safe place for young men to have a greater level of independence. They decide on the activities, plan them, and carry them out from start to finish. The DeMolay chapter is run completely by its members. Adult volunteers called "advisors" are present at every event to help when needed, but they stay in the background as much as possible. They are the resources, the mentors, the safety net.
Skills for a Lifetime
DeMolay has been the first step toward success for many future leaders. When a young man joins DeMolay he puts himself on the fast track to learn skills that will help him in school and throughout life. Members learn how to set goals, organize their time, speak comfortably to a group, make a budget, use their resources, implement their ideas, and think critically. These are life-skills that DeMolay members learn as second nature several years ahead of their peers.
Is DeMolay a Religious Organization?
DeMolay teaches that one of the steps toward becoming a happy and successful person is developing a strong faith in one God and being true to it. We do not try to indoctrinate young men in any religious creed. We believe their religious training is best conducted in the home or in their place of worship. Our Order is open to all faiths and teaches tolerance and respect for the beliefs of others. DeMolay does not teach a specific religion and does not require members to belong to any particular church, however, each of our meetings is opened and closed with a non-denominational prayer
Who Can Become a Member of DeMolay?
DeMolay is open to young men who are between the ages of 12 and 21, believe in a Supreme Being, and strive to be a good person.
