The Youth Career Commission, Inc. (YCCI) is accepting applications for its Youth Career Camp 2024 summer program, open to ages 13-24. The summer session will be conducted June 3-16, 2024. Participants have until May 6, 2024 to submit their applications.
The Youth Career Commission's mission is to teach and train youth and young adults, ages 13-24, from low-income families and rural underserved communities on the essential skills, personal qualities, and values that will enable them to thrive in the workforce and in society. They also provide educational and career path guidance to help their participants achieve independence and upward socioeconomic mobility.
The objective of the camp is to provide affordable and/or free programs with measurable training outcomes that help area youth develop skills that they can use immediately, helping them become active contributors to the community, and setting them on a positive path toward their future.
Applications close May 6 at 5pm
Youth Career Camp has a seventeen-year history of supporting and guiding their youth, under the direction of Wayne Williams and the YCCI Board of Directors. "This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Training can be tailored to fit specific needs," Williams says. According to the YCCI website, those needs can include helping youth with resume building, interview preparation, and even financial literacy.
Last year's participants had the opportunity to pitch business ideas to local leaders as part of their skills training.
