Youth Community Fund

Teens making their community better

The YCF is a group of high school students from Bronxville, Eastchester and Tuckahoe who want to make an impact in their community. YCF is open to students grades 9 – 12 on the Member Team and 11th graders on the Leadership Team. As a member of YCF, you will participate in community service, fundraising and support local non-profit agencies. YCF will raise funds and distribute these funds to local agencies, who provide important services to the BET community, via a grant application process. Grants will be evaluated and voted on by members of the YCF.
