PCCF Supports Programs to Develop the Potential of Youths in Our Community
PCCF was one of the first community foundations in Arkansas to establish a Youth Advisory Council (YAC).  Pope County's YAC invites students from each of the school districts in the county to be involved in learning the joy and responsibility of philanthropy.  Pope County YAC has established a Pope County Community Youth Endowment which allows them to make grants to organizations, programs and projects that benefit youth.  JumpStart project at Wesley Foundation and the Russellville Skate Park are among the grants YAC has awarded.

PCCF also served in Group I of the ASTA Mini-Grant Program funded by the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation.  Ten science teachers in Pope County each received a grant of $500.00 for innovative teaching projects in their classrooms this year.  This number was double the 5 teachers who received grants last year and the Foundation hopes that number will continue to increase.
