Interested in earning some money for a youth project or activity? Want to support a local club or group? Have an innovative idea that would support our community and meet youth needs?
If you said "YES" to any of these questions, then consider applying for a Youth Advisory Council grant through the Northeast Michigan Community Foundation.
Details about the grant, the application, and who qualifies can be found HERE:

The fall YAC grant deadline is October 15th.
Remember: You can earn up to $2,500 for your club, group, nonprofit, and/or project, and Alcona YAC students get to act as young philanthropists to make the grant decisions.

🔐 What would you say to someone 50 years into the future? The Harrisville Lions Club is inviting Alcona Schools families and community members to take part in the Harrisville Mystery Safe Time Capsule Project, a unique opportunity to create a community legacy that will span generations. Inspired by the excitement surrounding the recent discovery of a century-old safe buried beneath the streets of Harrisville, this new project looks toward the future by creating a time capsule that will be opened 50 years from now. Our 6th grade students will lead the project, reflecting on their lives, school, and community and sharing what they want future generations to know about Alcona County today. Join us this Sunday, September 20, at 2:30pm at the Harrisville Harbor for the opening of the original Mystery Safe! Bring a chair and join community members as we discover what has been hidden for nearly 100 years. 6th graders are especially encouraged to attend, as this event will help kick off their time capsule project and connect the mystery of the past with a legacy for the future! Please note this is not an ACS sponsored event. #AlconaSchools #TigerPride #HarrisvilleMysterySafe
