2020 YAC of the Year Award

The Mt. Pleasant Community Foundation’s Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) recently received a 2020 YAC of the Year Award from the Michigan Community Foundations Youth Project (MCFYP) Committee for creating a video thanking essential workers for their hard work during the COVID-19 pandemic.

MPACF’s YAC received the Russell G. Mawby Media Usage of the Year Award, which is given to a YAC that has utilized social media in their work in a unique, creative, or impactful way.   

“This video was a unique way for Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation YAC to show support to the community during such an unprecedented time,” said MPACF’s YAC advisor, Emma Powell. “The video demonstrated empathy, care, time, and energy to ensure the unsung heroes during this time were showcased and that their efforts did not go unnoticed by the youth of our Isabella County community.”
