The Shiner Chamber of Commerce is proud to introduce the Shiner Chamber of Commerce Youth Action Team (YAT) award. This award will encourage your students (8th Grade-Juniors, of this 2023 CALENDAR year) to experience, hands-on, participation in community events sponsored by the Shiner Chamber of Commerce. 

​

Each student that chooses to participate will receive a recognition award (certificate) at the Shiner Chamber of Commerce Awards Banquet. This will be a calendar year opportunity that begins every January and continues through December. On our website, students will be responsible for downloading (Youth Action Team Application) and keeping documentation of the hours they have volunteered at any Chamber of Commerce event. Students are asked to check back for the dates and times of these volunteer opportunities as events occur. The Shiner Chamber of Commerce hosts several events that bring our community together and highlight our Chamber members and their businesses. 

​

If a student completes the Youth Action Team Confirmation form, with the required minimum of eight volunteer hours, they will be presented with a YAT award that they will be publicly acknowledged. They will also be able to apply for a future Shiner Chamber of Commerce Scholarship their Senior year of High School. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Shiner Chamber of Commerce.
