Beautiful Plains Credit Union – Cheque Presentation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Youth Advisory Committee was established in 2002 as an\ninitiative from the Thomas Sill Foundation to encourage youth philanthropy and\nvolunteerism.  The Thomas Sill Foundation\ncontributed $2,500 for 3 years $1,000 for operations and $2,500 for grants.  The BPCF had to agree to continue this\ninitiative for an additional 3 years. \nThe YAC distributed their first grants in 2003.  The BPCF Board decided that this initiative\nwas a very worthwhile commitment and continued their commitment of $2,500 a\nyear since 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beautiful Plains Credit Union has donated $1,000 to the Youth Advisory Committee for operations from 2009 – 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vision of the Foundations both Thomas Sill and the BPCF\nwas that the youth involved in YAC would develop the following skills:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Develop a good understanding of charitable\norganizations in the community and their needs through site visitations and\ninterviews<\/li>
  2. Develop evaluation and critical thinking skills<\/li>
  3. Foster an interest in volunteerism and philanthropy<\/li>
  4. Develop team building skills<\/li>
  5. Ability to listen to individual opinions and\ncome to a consensus through discussion<\/li>
  6. Fundraising and marketing skills \u2013 raffle at\nChristmas with Funds going to Salvation Army to support Christmas Cheer<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The YAC is a nation-wide initiative to which many Community\nFoundations in Canada provide funding. \nThe Youth Advisory Committee of NACI runs from September \u2013 June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The YAC program would not be possible without teacher\nsupervisors of Mike Adams and Dawn Birch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
