About Our YPC
The Community Foundation established its Youth Philanthropy Council (YPC) in 2008 to provide opportunities for local youth to practice philanthropic leadership skills by forming a grant making body. We believe that by including the voices and opinions of local youth in our community conversations, we can better understand our community while fostering in our future leaders a sense of local stewardship. The YPC is composed of sophomores, juniors, and seniors from our local public and private high schools. Check out YPC in the news!
