Alec Frey, 2015 Vice<br />
Chairman: What YAC<br />
means to me is the ability to<br />
give back to other non-profit<br />
organizations that help out<br />
the community. It also makes<br />
me realize that people think<br />
students can make the right<br />
decisions for their community.<br />
I get to meet new friends<br />
at YAC. The YAC advisors<br />
actually believe in us to make<br />
the right decisions for the community. It’s nice knowing that<br />
they are there to help and guide us.<br />
Theresa McMunigal, Advisor: Serving as a YAC<br />
advisor has been very meaningful to me. For the past five<br />
years, <strong>RCCF</strong> has supported our students through grants<br />
which make our annual field trip possible. As I consider<br />
both why I enjoy the experience and wish to be a part of<br />
YAC, I realize that this opportunity allows for me to give<br />
back to <strong>RCCF</strong> on behalf of my students in some small way.<br />
One of the things I enjoy most about being a YAC<br />
advisor is watching my students flourish during the grant<br />
screening process. The responsibility given to students is<br />
very important; this process gives students a glimpse of<br />
real-world adult decision making. I believe that YAC makes<br />
students realize that they are valuable members of the<br />
community and helps them understand that they have power<br />
to make contributions that strengthen our county.<br />
It is always fun to spend time with students outside of<br />
the school day; YAC provides another opportunity to help us<br />
empower students within their education. Forging stronger<br />
relationships with our students and watching them make<br />
friends from the area is very rewarding for me as an advisor.<br />
YAC serves as a strong community support for this area; I<br />
cannot thank <strong>RCCF</strong> enough for everything they do for our<br />
local schools.<br />
Lauren Wolverton - YAC Member: I enjoy being a<br />
part of YAC because I know that I am a part of something<br />
that is helping the community. It is a great feeling because<br />
this is where we live and where a lot of us will live for the<br />
rest of our lives. Being a YAC member means giving back<br />
to the organizations who help our county.<br />
Roseann Johnson, YAC Member: YAC is a place<br />
where we can meet new people our age and help the<br />
community with them. YAC is lending a helping hand to<br />
people in need. YAC is being role models to our community.<br />
Ryan Sheffield, YAC Member: I am grateful for being<br />
in YAC because we get to help out in the community. The<br />
community is thankful for the service; last year we held<br />
a food drive and everyone thanked us so much for what<br />
we were doing. It felt great. Everything we do for the<br />
community helps and I think we need more young people<br />
who want to help out.<br />
Marisol Tinoco - YAC Member: To me, YAC is an<br />
important group for students and teachers. We learn what<br />
is going on in our community and people around us. They<br />
teach us about social issues so that we can be aware of them.<br />
Through YAC, we help our community in any way we can.<br />
I’m glad that I get to meet so many nice new people my age<br />
and get to be a part of something. It is fun and you find out<br />
about things you didn’t know about before. I am happy to be<br />
a part of this group.<br />
