YAC Membership

YAC Members at Camp Daggett

The Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation invites Emmet County youth to join their Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) annually in January or February. YAC members are representatives of the County’s youth and are responsible for addressing youth needs by directing grant dollars to area nonprofit organizations. Members learn a lot about their community, philanthropy, and how to make decisions in a diverse group.

Youth in Emmet County who have the time and interest to attend monthly meetings from September to May, to read grant applications twice a year, and to make a multi-year commitment should consider applying for YAC membership. New members typically join the committee at the beginning of their eighth or ninth grade year and stay on until they graduate from high school. 

Applications for the Youth Advisory Committee are currently being considered.  We'll host an open meeting for those interested in learning more about the YAC on April 22, 2012 at NCMC Library Conference Room from 4:30 - 5:30 p.m.

Decisions on membership will be made in May.
