Guntersville Ala.— The Lake Guntersville Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the new Chamber Youth Ambassador (CYA) program for the 2025-2026 school year. CYA offers rising juniors and seniors in the local area an incredible opportunity to develop leadership skills, represent their community and become active participants in local events.
“We are thrilled to offer this opportunity to our local students,” said Sarah Kate Edmondson, communications director for the Lake Guntersville Chamber of Commerce. “It’s a chance for them to step up as community leaders and gain valuable experience that will serve them well in the future. We’re looking for passionate and motivated students who are ready to take on this exciting challenge.”
Students must maintain a grade average of at least 80 in core curriculum subjects during both their Sophomore and Junior years. A letter of recommendation from a teacher or counselor is required, as well as an introductory video (3 minutes or less) showcasing the student’s personality, their favorite thing about Guntersville, and why they would be a great ambassador. Additionally, parental consent must be provided.
“We are excited to partner with the Lake Guntersville Chamber of Commerce to launch the Chamber Youth Ambassador program,” said John Davis Rollings, communications & community relations director for Guntersville City Schools & chairman-elect of the Lake Guntersville Chamber of Commerce Board. “This joint effort opens the door for our students to develop leadership skills, engage with local businesses, and gain real-world experience that will assist in shaping their futures.
