Jayne Young was an important part of the success of the women's volleyball programs at both Seneca College and Georgian College.

Young began her college career at Seneca in 1980-81 where she was selected their Female Athlete of the Year. That same year, Young and her teammates won the OCAA championship and finished third at the nationals.

The next season, Young transferred to Georgian College and immediately became team captain. In her first year at Georgian she was selected as an all-Canadian, and then in her final year the Grizzlies won their first-ever OCAA women's volleyball championship.

In 2000, Jayne Young was named to the OCAA women's volleyball all-millennium team.
