Youth Challenge Fund: YCF Board

YCF Board

From February 2006 to March 2009, YCF was governed by a community board made up of a broad cross-section of community leaders, including representatives from the Government of Ontario, the City of Toronto and United Way Toronto. Led by Toronto Argonauts CEO Michael ‘Pinball’ Clemons, the board reviewed proposed community initiatives and made investments on behalf of the fund.

YCF is continuing its work under a new governance model with a Partnership Steering Committee (PSC), an eight-member committee whose primary role is to provide oversight and ensure that the work of funded initiatives continues under the YCF mandate through 2013. The PSC is co-chaired by Toronto Argonauts CEO Michael ‘Pinball’ Clemons and youth representative Stefany Hanson. There remains representation from the Province, City, UWT and members from the original YCF board.
