The Wake Forest Area Chamber Foundation was established in 2015 to provide educational programming to youth and adults in our community. From its humble beginnings providing two leadership skills classes per year (one for adults and one for high school students), the Foundation has grown to serve more than 1,000 individuals each year. Program offerings now include leadership skills, plus workforce development, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy training. Participants range in age from 9 years old to adults of all ages. 

The Foundation relies exclusively on external corporate sponsorships, community donors, and grants to fund its programs. Volunteers are also an integral component to making our programs happen. We we are extremely grateful to those who give their time and/or money to further our mission!
