Youth Advisory Committee

The Mission of the Youth Advisory Committee of the Wayne County Community Foundation is to familiarize Wayne County youth with the potential of philanthropic activities by providing the opportunity - through cooperative leadership - and to give financial support to projects designed to improve the youth community.

The intent of the Youth Mini-Grants Program is to introduce the concept of a Community Foundation and its work while supplying educational and funding opportunities to students. Grants of up to $1,000 are available for projects or programs that will benefit elementary and secondary age students in Wayne County schools and/or community groups.
