The Youth Company and US-Qatar Business Council to announce their cooperation

The Youth Company is a Doha-based organization that assists in the development of young people in an efficient, effective and sustainable manner. Through a variety of platforms and programs aimed at personal and professional development, improving employment and community engagement, The Youth Company works to raise the youth into healthy, active and socially responsible residents.

The day began with a roundtable breakfast at The Army and Navy Club, which was attended by a number of Council contacts and members. The morning was highlighted by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Council and The Youth Company that will lead to future cooperation in a variety of fields.

Following breakfast, The Youth Company delegation and Council representatives made their way to the Anacostia River where they met with representatives from the Earth Conservation Corps (ECC). The ECC organizes youth-development and conservation programs aimed at restoring the ecosystem of the Anacostia River. At their headquarters, the ECC and The Youth Company discussed a variety of strategies to raise environmental awareness amongst youth populations in the Middle East.

The day was rounded out with a trip to the National Geographic Society for a tour of their exhibit, 1001 Inventions: Discover the Golden Age of Muslim Civilization.

The Council was very excited to host one of Qatar's most dynamic enterprises and is looking forward to working with them in the future.
