The Barrington Area Community Foundation’s Youth Advisory Council is a dynamic group of local students who work on their own projects and programs to help meet the unmet needs of the community.

The group organizes a Fall Food Collection for area Food Pantries, hosts a dance at Barrington High School raising funds to support a local impactful initiative and participates in a Chicago City Field Trip where they have the opportunity to meet and learn from larger initiatives serving the Chicagoland area.
