Young Chamber – developing minds for developing business
Young Chamber’s core focus is to help young people develop their own potential by understanding how business and commerce works. It is an organic framework, not a rigid system.
It is non-prescriptive because each school has its own student body, the Young Chamber Council, and this decides what type of business engagement is desired.
Access to businesses is provided by the local Chamber of Commerce whose membership represents the immediate business community.
The lines of communication are short and simple and therefore the likelihood of a successful and relevant relationship is significantly enhanced.
