YAC is committed to the personal, professional, social, cultural and economic development of African/Caribbean Canadian youth and young adults. We aspire to encourage individuals to maximize their potential and prepare for future challenges, while educating them to become socially and culturally responsible Canadians.

Our committee objectives include;

• Perform outreach to neighboring high schools, advising on issues on education, career path   choices, financial competence, social and world affairs
• Establish a mentorship program of young adult mentors to assist in the progression of youth
• Facilitate conferences and/or workshops which highlight education, technology, and   resolutions to social issues impacting youth in the community
• Develop strong links with secondary and post-secondary institutions and professional   organizations
• Develop strong alignment with other community organizations to provide resources members
• Provide financial assistance to post-secondary students through the YAC Rising Star   Scholarships
