Youth Advisory Council (YAC)

CCS Youth Advisory Council

Copenhagen's Youth Advisory Council meets on a monthly basis after school. During these meetings members review submitted grant request applications, discuss student matters, and plan student activities (like the annual Talent Show - where canned goods are collected for the School Backpack Program at the end of the school year!).

Do you have an idea for a community and/or school project that will benefit the children in our school and/or community? If so, submit a grant request application here for consideration.

Interested in becoming a part of CCS's Youth Advisory Council? Speak with a current YAC member or stop by the Guidance Office to inquire. 

The purpose for a Pratt Northam sponsored Youth Advisory Council (YAC) is to allow a committee (board) of students from grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 to make decisions for funding ideas proposed by their board and peers.

The Foundation's goals when establishing a YAC are:

• To encourage creative thinking

• To fund projects proposed by young people that benefit their community

• To establish a practice of philanthropy while promoting volunteerism and service
