Grand Island Chamber of Commerce would like to recognize our 2024-2025 Youth Ambassadors for Service and welcome our 2025-2026 Youth Ambassadors. We would like to thank Cassidy Kurtzhalts and Janelle Spiesz for the past year of service as the Grand Island Chamber of Commerce Youth Ambassadors. In the past year, Cassidy and Janelle have represented the Chamber at the following events: Light Up the Boulevard, Chamber Holiday Party, Citizen of the Year, KidBiz, and the 4th of July Parade.  The Chamber Board of Directors would like to thank Cassidy  and Janelle again for a job well done and wish them the best of luck in the future!

​

The Grand Island Chamber of Commerce selects two Youth Ambassadors to promote interaction and goodwill between the business community and students, to bring them an awareness of the economic development of Grand Island. The two Youth Ambassadors selected represent the youth of Grand Island at local business events such as the Citizen of the Year Awards Dinner, KidBiz, the 4th of July parade,
Light Up the Boulevard Electric Parade & Festival and other Chamber and community events. This program is open to students in grades 10, 11 and 12. The two chosen Youth Ambassadors will each receive a $1,500 scholarship. In June we held interviews for our 2025-2026 Youth Ambassadors. 

​

The Chamber would like to introduce the Grand Island Community to the 2025-2026  Youth Ambassadors, Addison Lewis & Sienna Sarkees.
