The Youth Chamber of Commerce (YCC) is a program that provides an environment for students to learn business protocol, business etiquette, and financial & budgetary concepts through specific business projects and technology training. Youth members are given training on business subjects including product management, import/export strategies, supply chain management, leadership, management succession and philanthropy using licensed materials and technology.
The Youth Chamber of Commerce is an exciting opportunity for members to make an immediate impact in member communities by practicing their leadership skills beginning with their power to nominate, vote and elect peers as their representatives to guide their chapter of the Youth Chamber of Commerce.
The program model was designed to meet needs of several communities that want to support youth development and job creation using sophisticated retention strategies.
