Youth
Advisory Committee - YAC

The
2010-2011Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) is made
up of 26 students from high schools in Emmet County.
Thanks to a matching grant from the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation, the Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community
Foundation was able to establish a Youth Fund
(a $1 million dollar endowed fund). The YAC is
responsible for making grant recommendations from
the Youth Fund to benefit young people in our
area.
YOUTH
NEEDS ASSESSMENT
With
revenue earned from a permanently endowed youth
fund, t he YAC addresses issues of concern and
importance through grantmaking. In order to help
them represent their peers, and in compliance
with the Council of Michigan Foundations, the
YAC surveys middle and high school students using
a needs assessment survey every three years. The
goal is to give students a chance to share what
is important to them and to their community.
