GCFF Youth Advisory Committee

The Grand Chain Family Foundation is proud to introduce the newly formed Young Adult Advisory Committee (YAC), a dynamic group designed to engage and develop the next generation of family leaders while supporting the foundation’s mission. The YAC will play a vital role in assisting with our initiatives in education, preserving family history, bi-annual reunions, health and wellness, and supporting our treasured seniors the ‘Jewels’.

How It Works

• Ages 14-17 will focus on learning, engagement, and participation.

• Ages 18-28 will be eligible for leadership and mentorship roles within the committee.

• The YAC will assist with existing foundation goals and objectives.

• Membership is capped at fifteen (15), but a waiting list will be available, allowing non-members to stay engaged through subcommittees and special projects.

Why Join?

• Connect with family members across generations.

• Gain hands-on experience in philanthropy and leadership.

• Contribute to projects that honor our family’s legacy.

• Make a lasting impact in our communities.
