Youth Grantmakers

For nearly 20 years the Community Foundation has been working with groups of area high school students interested in making a difference. The Youth Advisory Committees (YACs) are comprised of students from across Genesee County. They meet regularly, review grant proposals and community service opportunities, and learn about giving back.

Since the first YAC was established in 1992, members have awarded over $930,000 for a variety of programs that benefit area young people.
