The Youth Advocacy Council
The Youth Advocacy Council (YAC) is a self-governing advocacy council comprised of high-school students with intellectual and developmental disabilities from the Philadelphia region. YAC members learn leadership and collaborative skills while producing an issue-oriented project of their own design.
The YAC is made possible by generous support awarded to Temple Contemporary at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture from the Philadelphia Foundation’s Fund for Children Grants Program.
