Youth Action Council

The Youth Action Council (YAC) is a youth grantmaking board comprised of youth from numerous MetroWest communities. They are entrusted with reviewing and granting up to $10,000 in funds to nonprofit organizations serving children and youth.

YAC, similar to the Youth in Philanthropy program, teaches youth about:

  • The needs of our community
  • What a nonprofit organization is
  • How to evaluate a nonprofit for funding
  • Fundraising strategies
  • Working with others to make an impact on our community

The activities that YAC engages in are:

Support Our Youth in Philanthropy Program

We have established the Youth in Philanthropy Endowment Fund to finance this wonderful program. Several schools in the Concord area already have endowed Youth in Philanthropy programs — meaning that we can run them in perpetuity — but in order to extend YIP to other MetroWest high schools — we must continue growing. When you give to the Youth in Philanthropy Endowment Fund, you are contributing to a service program that not only helps local constituencies in need, but makes a mark on the next generation of MetroWest residents.
