YAC Members are young men and women who believe in giving their time and talents through philanthropy.  They can be freshmen, sophomores, juniors or seniors in high school. Shown here is Katie Hoard of Phillps County is receiving congratulations for YAC Board service from Glenn Freeman, Board Liaison, Dr. P. Vasudevan, Chair of PCCF Board, and LeVaughn Smith, YAC Adult Advisor.
	YAC members like being together.  As they meet to discuss the needs of youth and children in their area, how to raise funds, how to solicit projects to meet needs and how to distribute money through grants to worthy projects, they make a difference and have fun at the same time. Shown here are members of the Ouachita Valley Community Foundation YAC preparing soap solution for their "bubble booth" at a spring event for local children.
YACs and their Adult Advisors work with their Affiliate Boards to learn the needs of their community and to spread the word about the funds they have available for worthwhile projects. Shown here is Joanna Smith, Executive Director of Columbia County Community Foundation, introducing YAC to potential donors.
