We are a nonsectarian, nonprofit, patriotic fraternal benefit society.
Since its birth, the society has grown in influence and community prestige. Men and women have kept the spirit of brotherhood alive by unselfish assistance to each other and to the communities in which they live.
The term Junior Order has historical significance only. For a brief time in its early history, the organization was a youth branch of the original United American Mechanics founded in 1845.
Membership is not confined to craftsmen. The term Mechanics is used broadly to mean builders of character, integrity and citizenship.
We are composed of American citizens of good moral character who believe in a Supreme Being as the Creator and Preserver of the Universe.
Opposed to the union of church and state. For we believe that every citizen possess the liberty of worshiping God according to the dictates of his own conscience.
In favor of upholding the American Public School System. We hold that our schools should be conducted in the English language, to the end that future generations may be able to take their place as English speaking citizens of an English speaking country. We encourage the reading of the Holy Bible in the schools not to teach sectarianism, but moral excellence.
Not a Communist or a member of any other subversive organization advocating the overthrow of our Government by force and violence.
The Order supports The American Childrens Home in Lexington, NC. Some of our state councils also support the Lupus Foundation and Cerebral Palsy.
Some of our state and local councils award scholarships to outstanding high school students in their area.
Our lodges stay active by sponsoring dinners, fish fry's, barbecues and participating in parades and festivals.
