Youth Advisory Council - YAC

JCCF is currently working on expanding the YAC groups in Johnson County this year.  YAC groups from two high schools in have been formed for the 2012-13 school year.  Westside and Lamar High School are participating. YAC teaches youth in the community that teens can and DO make a difference in their communities. The Youth Advisory Council works together to raise money for charitable causes and to decide as a group which projects to support.  The Youth Advisory Grant Cycle will begin in January 2013.  Applications are available through the JCCF Office and YAC Members.
