Description
YAC GRANT TANK is a program of Four County Community Foundation’s Youth Advisory Committee that supports student-written, student-driven projects and programs benefiting youth. It introduces students, teachers, and club leaders to the foundation while encouraging young people to take an active role in improving themselves, their schools, and their communities.
The program emphasizes service to others, helping people who need assistance, and addressing youth needs. Projects most likely to receive approval encourage young people to participate in making improvements rather than simply receiving a benefit. Applicants are asked to explain the local need, who their project will help, whether its benefits will last, and how they will demonstrate success.
