The Young Alumni Council (YAC) was founded at the UVA Alumni Association in 1995 to support and advocate for the UVA young alumni community. Since its inception, YAC has incubated initiatives that have shaped the experiences of decades of alumni, provided critical input on issues impacting young alumni, and developed leaders who have gone on to have widespread impact on UVA.
The YAC Endowment was established in 2019 by a generous gift from an emeritus Council member who wanted to ensure that YAC will exist in perpetuity to serve generations of young alumni to come. As YAC approaches its 30th anniversary in 2025, the Alumni Association is working alongside current Council members to reach our shared goal of fully funding the YAC Endowment.
The endowment will position YAC to fulfill its mission of advocating for the UVA young alumni community for the next 30 years and beyond. Join us in celebrating 30 incredible years of YAC with a gift to the Young Alumni Council Endowment.
