A Journey of Self-Discovery

Chamber Leadership Academy (CLA), our youth Chamber program, takes our personal development programming to the next level by partnering with local chambers of commerce, area municipalities, elected officials, and business leaders to turn a city into a classroom. We interlace the experiences and perspectives of community leaders into our curriculum and set it against the backdrop of the host city.

This is a 5-day program where each day is anchored by a central theme, a closely associated leadership skill-set, and a carefully selected location in the host city. Our expert facilitators carefully construct a panel of speakers with unique perspectives and experiences that highlight the day’s chosen theme, and develop custom-designed curriculum and activities that aim to strengthen the student’s 21st Century skill set.
