Youth Advisory Council (YAC) is a group of American Red Cross Club members from all of the schools that have a Red Cross club in Santa Cruz County. Members of YAC are usually the President and/or Vice President of their club.

YAC keeps all of the Red Cross Clubs in Santa Cruz County connected and social. YAC is the leadership body of the Red Cross Clubs, and has a role in planning and coordinating all youth activities.
