Advisory Committee - YAC
Philanthropy: hard to say
cool to do! (cu-da-doo)
The 2007-2008 Youth Advisory Committee (YAC)
is made up of 27 students from the middle and
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.

| Ellen
Blanchard, Secretary |
