So you want to start a Young Chamber...

Young Chamber is a simple idea that links schools with Chambers of Commerce in their area making business contact easier. There are steadily increasing numbers of schools signing up but if your school hasn’t taken the plunge yet, or if you’re a student wanting to know what's involved, help is at hand.

Young Chamber has just posted a guide to setting up Young Chamber in your school on its website youngchamber.com.

The simple guide takes you through everything that you need to consider and undertake to bring Young Chamber to your school and begin to operate a YC Council. Information ranges from the optimum make-up of a YC Council to the kinds of enterprising projects you could consider for your school.

The guide contains suggestions about organising Young Chamber but every school may have a different priority or preference about the kind of projects it wants to undertake and this is fine within the YC concept.

What's important is that your YC Council represents the views and wishes of all your school members and that you make the most of any business contacts available in your area.
