Mission

To provide the Youth of Chatham County with a vehicle to learn about government, participate in the process and to represent and articulate the needs of youth in this County.

Vision

The Chatham County Youth Commission seeks to prepare youth for a lifetime of public and community service regardless of the youth's present or future career aspirations.

Philosophy

We believe that leaders are not necessarily born, but are definitely made. We see each of our young people as "walking possibilities," and that we as present leaders have the obligation to cultivate future leaders. We further believe that the synthesis of our personal example, theoretical instruction and practical application provides a fertile environment for young people to become positive young leaders, enhance their community and contribute to growth of our community.
