What is YAC?
No, it’s not the long haired cow – it’s a bunch
of friends from around the Battle Creek area
who work to fund, promote, and create
programs that help other youth through the
Battle Creek Community Foundation!

The Youth Alliance Committee (aka YAC) was
formed in 1989 by the Battle Creek
Community Foundation (BCCF) to involve
high school students - in the greater Battle
Creek area - in improving the quality of life
for area youth. YAC fulfills this goal through
an active role in grantmaking, volunteerism,
evaluating needs & interests of youth, and
actively engaging in various community
projects.
YAC is 30 students strong in 2014-2015,
proudly representing six public, private and
home schools including: Battle Creek
Academy, Battle Creek Central, Harper
Creek, Lakeview, Pennfield, & St. Phillip
Catholic Central.
