The Younger Chemists Committee

Don't have a local section YCC? Start your Local Section Younger Chemists Committee!

If you are interested in starting a LSYCC, contact your local section officers and express your interest!

The YCC encourages LSYCCs to turn to the local section for mentoring and advice as well. Moreover, the YCC recommends that at least one LSYCC member act as a Local Section Younger Chemist Liaison and attend local section board meetings regularly to share progress on LSYCC activities and give a voice to younger chemists on the local section level.

More information about starting a Local Section Younger Chemists Committee can be found in our starter kit (PDF).
