Youth and YACs

Where are they now?

It has now been about eight years since the first community foundation Youth Advisory Councils (YACs) got started in Canada, and many YACers have moved on.

Some went travelling, some went away to university, some got tired, and some just got too old! But many continue to stay in touch with their local community foundation or with CFC, and this series will visit some of those original YAC members from the early years of Youth in Philanthropy.

Often founding members of their local YAC, they are real pioneers in the "movement within the movement"!
