The Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce has launched a new Youth Leadership Manhattan program to cultivate the next generation of business and community leaders in the Manhattan area. This initiative builds upon the success of the Chamber's Leadership Manhattan program for professionals, extending similar opportunities to high school sophomores.
The mission of the program is to ensure the vitality of the community by creating a pipeline of skilled, motivated, and community-minded young leaders who are ready to contribute meaningfully to the workforce, engage actively in civic affairs, and drive positive change in the Manhattan community. The Chamber’s goal is to showcase various educational and career opportunities to the students in hopes that they consider the Manhattan region as a place to grow personally and professionally in the future.
Participants will engage in various real-world experiences, including workshops, site visits to local businesses, and community service projects.
