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.
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.
