Business Engaging Youth Program
The Business Engaging Youth Program is designed to provide students in Aurora with an opportunity to engage with the business community in a meaningful way. We are looking for a Student Ambassador from your school to be the liaison between the Aurora Chamber of Commerce, its Member businesses, and your student body. This student will attend events and seminars to learn about specific student-centered opportunities within the business community, employment opportunities, mentorship programs, or scholarship programs to advise and share with their peers.
Engaging secondary school youth with local business owners through the Chamber of Commerce is pivotal for fostering economic growth. This symbiotic relationship imparts practical knowledge and cultivates a sense of entrepreneurship among the younger generation. Through mentorship programs and interactive sessions, students gain insights into the local business landscape, sparking innovative ideas and potential career paths.
This collaboration establishes a strong foundation for future leaders and contributes to a skilled workforce, ultimately fueling economic development. By bridging the gap between academia and industry, the Chamber of Commerce plays a vital role in shaping a dynamic and forward-thinking community, fostering sustainable economic progress.
