The WCS encourages participation by all junior collectors who have a sincere interest in the numismatic hobby.  The WCS youth program also encourages participation by eligible family members in all of the WCS meetings and events. It's important and much appreciated for parents to be actively involved lending their support to educating their children in numismatics. We salute the parents, as many have volunteered for events especially our youth programs.

Young numismatists, commonly referred to as "YN's" in the hobby, have the opportunity to advance their interest and network with others on a common ground.

Come on in and join the fun and excitement of the numismatic hobby, while perhaps learning something about art, economics, geography, history, politics and science in the process!

The reasons and methods, like the coins themselves, vary from individual to individual. All agree that the support and encouragement of adults helped them along their journey.
