OUR COMMUNITY IMPACT

FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM @YOUNGAFFILIATES TO KEEP UP WITH THE LATEST YAM EVENTS & NEWS

We make substantial donations of tangible and intangible goods to the Mint Museum each year. To date, we have made eight art acquisitions, which are held in the permanent collection of the Mint with credit to the Young Affiliates. We are also committed to raising funds to offset the cost of free school tours of the Mint Museum for school-aged children in Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools. These tours inspire a new generation of artists and art enthusiasts who will make Charlotte a more vibrant community.
