Young people who care about their communities are increasingly getting involved in philanthropy. Anybody can be a philanthropist, why not us?
By forming youth advisory committees (YACs) within our local community foundations, we come together to raise money, build endowment funds and make grants to local youth projects. We are in our teens and twenties, we have a lot of ideas and energy to bring to the table, and we want to make a difference – today and well into the future.
We are already making a difference in more than 55 communities across Canada, and the momentum is building. Come and find out more about why youth philanthropy is here to stay.

What do you feel you're getting out of being involved?
The best thing about being on the project's National Selection Committee was definitely the people I've connected with across the country. It's an amazing thing to have all these people brought together from different backgrounds and then realize that you share commonalities.
The most challenging thing about being on the committee was - well, there wasn't one! Everyone shared their thoughts and was so well-spoken, which can be hard when you're only meeting through a telephone conference.
