The Youth Advisory Committee works hand in hand with the South Haven Community Foundation Board of Directors to examine our community’s needs and shares ideas on how to make it better. The group is made up of 9-15 high school students who have an interest in the future of the community’s youth. By majority vote, the YAC reviews applications and selects new members each year to participate in order to achieve the following: periodically make needs assessments of the community; fundraising; give grants; and encourage youth volunteerism.
