We’re launching a new initiative to reconnect YAC alumni with each other & current YACsters:

the YAC Alumni Network!

Join our monthly Alumni newsletter to enjoy:

  • Stories from fellow alum & current YACsters

  • Being a part of an advisor network of support for YACsters

  • Opportunities for support & professional networking

Mentorship at YAC runs deep and often extends well into adulthood. We want to make it easier for all YACsters to stay part of our creative and supportive community.

Follow our Alumni pages to get started:

  • Instagram: @yacalums

  • LinkedIn: Youth Arts Collective Alumni

Or contact our Director of Alumni Relations: Logan Mermin, at lmermin.yac@gmail.com.

“I see my peers making art and being themselves at one of the most vital times in their lives.”
