Through the Youth Advisory Committee (YAC), seventh- and eighth-graders, alongside Albion high school students, act as philanthropists within their community. The YAC is a subgroup of the Albion Community Foundation (ACF).

In 1968 a group of Albion residents started the ACF, making it one of 56 community foundations in Michigan. According to the ACF Web site, its goal is to enhance the quality of life for citizens, as well as for future generations by building a permanent community endowment.
