You’ve played the timeless drawing game, Connect the Dots, right? The goal is to get every dot on the page connected to the others without breaking the line drawn between them. The goal of your YAC should be the same: to connect each Youth Advisory Council throughout the state of Arkansas and keep them connected.
You know what your YAC is capable of so think about what all of the YACs across the state could do together. Each group could pull the spendable money in their endowments to award a grant to a philanthropy based in Arkansas. Here’s another idea: get YAC groups within your region to come together and plan an event benefitting youth from various counties, towns and cities. Think of the impact each one of you can make if you use your talents to work together.
Share ideas. Build relationships. Connect the YACs to see the "big picture" of youth philanthropy in Arkansas. Your YAC (and you) will grow from these connections.
You're brilliant.
