To provide affordable and free programs with measurable training outcomes of skills which can be used immediately, to develop active community contributors. After attending YCCI programs, youth will be able to demonstrate improved employability and STEAM skills, entrepreneurial knowledge, and a basic understanding of Local, National, and Global economics, and how this knowledge effects them as individuals. was one of the first organizations to teach youth age 13 how to complete job applications, create résumés, and prepare for job interviews. The workforce and the world has changed since then, and we’ve made notable adjustments in service delivery and programming to accommodate those changes. Up to the tragedy of COVID-19, we were providing 2 weeks of residential training for youth and young adults, including advance employability skills, entrepreneurial training, and in-depth industry exploration across the country. All those skills and opportunities remain important. Notwithstanding, they are insufficient alone to meet the technological advancements and demands youth face today. Embarking upon the year of 2021, a careful reevaluation of the mission of Youth Career Camp Inc. as compared to the needs of youth and young adults of the future, we believe it was time to reset the organization’s mission, purpose, and vision to remain relevant. Over the years we have learned that each new generation of youth face new challenges, and being a relevant service provider for generations to come means we must continuously create new value in the eyes of those we serve including community stakeholders (MoveTheNeedle), because new challenges often generate new value shifts. To remain impactful in 2022 and beyond, we must be a relevant organization with a culture of value creation while maintaining our sincere compassion to serve, yet improve the caliber of professionalism and mastery in training. Moving the needle toward the future for YCCI includes the utilization of virtual technologies, distance learning, global awareness & connectivity, increased Science Technology Engineering Art and Math (STEAM) training, assembling quality instructors, dedicated administrative and support personnel, strengthening the Board of Directors and ceasing the opportunity at the start of a new year to transform our brand to represent our new name, mission, purpose, and vision. In January 2021 we published our new Brand and Logo marking the next phase in our journey towards the future, and new opportunities to help transform the lives of the youth & young adults we are commissioned to serve. This rebranding of the visual identity of Youth Career Commission Inc., displays the vision for the future and reflect our historical core principles of serving, inspiring, and training. The logo was designed to depict the transformation programming we provide, and the commitment to maintaining the focus on our vision, providing opportunity, building excellence, and mentoring to success.
