Giving Tuesday Campaign

Youth Leadership Eau Claire

The YLEC program gives area high school juniors from five area schools a chance to enhance their knowledge and develop leadership skills that will empower and motivate them to become involved & committed to their community. 

Leadership Eau Claire™

The LEC program combines leadership skill building with community education. During the nine-month program, participants get a bird’s-eye view of the issues facing the community, begin developing the leadership skills necessary to assume leadership roles and are exposed to involvement opportunities in the community. 

Real Life Academy

The Real Life Academy is an interactive, hands-on financial literacy experience for area high school students to learn about money management. This event takes place bi-annually & requires over 200 volunteers to make this possible.

Endowment Fund

The Foundation Board created Endowment Fund to help ensure that youth leadership programs will continue well into the future. Donations may be made over multiple years. All donors contributing $2,500 or more will be recognized on a plaque displayed in the Chamber office and will be listed as permanent sponsors for YLEC.
