Applications
for the Youth Advisory Council
Students
who will be in 10th grade or above in the fall, with an
interest and awareness of issues and concerns in the youth
community and the broader community, are invited to apply
in the spring of the year. There are a limited number of
open seats on the Council. All submitted applications are
reviewed through a fair and neutral process. A Committee
of YAC members seeks to encure a cross section of youth
membership by gender, age, and school. Additionally, applicants
are ranked with regard to their interest, thoughtfulness
in responses, and potential for leadership. Selected applicants
will be invited to interview for a position on the Council.
A link will appear here for the application process in the
spring of each year.

Youth
Advisory Council
From its
inception in 1991, the Youth Advisory Council (YAC) has helped
to seed, nurture and grow hundreds of youth serving organizations
in the Tri-Cities. Since 1991 almost $1 million has been granted
to nonprofit programs meeting the needs of area youth. Each
year the YAC engages approximately 20 teens from each of the
local high schools and gives them direct experience in grantmaking.
In so doing, the YAC cultivates leadership and problem-solving
skills among its members and lays the groundwork for them
to become tomorrow's philanthropists and civic leaders.
