Chamber Life Skills Program

Guam Juvenile Drug Treatment Court Program

In partnership with the Judiciary of Guam – Juvenile Drug Treatment Court Program, the Guam Chamber offers life skills workshops for youth (17 and below) who have progressed to their final stages of the program. We try to have life skills sessions once a month, which usually take place on a Friday from 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm. We are seeking companies that would be interested in hosting a life skills workshop. Past life skills events include CPR training, business tours and operations; automotive 101; touring printing companies and seeing the back end of production; banking advice and beginner steps to opening and maintaining a savings or checking account; and wellness & well-being. The opportunities are endless!

If your company is interested in supporting this program by offering a life skills workshop, please email Rebekah Mendiola (Committee Liaison Specialist). It would be most helpful to have these clients exposed to the different career options that would impact their outlook on life and life decisions.

Wish to provide incentives? Member companies are welcome to provide incentives to youth in the program. Incentives are provided by the JDTC Judge and probation officers for a job well done or meeting goals set within the program. Your support of individually packaged chips and cookies, meal coupons, or other treats is greatly appreciated!

As we do each year, we ask our members to bring a new and unwrapped toy to our General Membership Meeting at the Hilton Guam Resort & Spa for the September 25th General Membership Meeting.

If your company is interested in being a designated collection site for this worthy cause, please email Rebekah or contact the Chamber Team at (671) 472-6311. Your tremendous support is absolutely instrumental in the success of this program. Un Dångkulu Na Si Yu'os Ma'åse for your consideration!
