Who We Are

The Yamhill County Cultural Coalition (YCCC) is a volunteer-led nonprofit dedicated to supporting arts, heritage, and humanities throughout Yamhill County. We believe cultural life is shaped locally and strengthened when communities have the resources to create, share, preserve, and celebrate their stories.

YCCC works in partnership with local organizations, artists, historians, educators, and cultural practitioners to support projects that reflect the richness and diversity of Yamhill County. Through an annual grant program, we fund community-based cultural work that increases access to the arts, preserves local history, and supports meaningful cultural participation for residents of all ages.

Our work is guided by a volunteer advisory board made up of community members with a range of cultural, professional, and lived experience. Together, we help ensure that funding decisions are grounded in local knowledge and responsive to community priorities.

Board Leadership & Community Involvement

YCCC is led by an all-volunteer board representing many of the cultural threads that make up Yamhill County. Board members bring perspectives from across the county and from a variety of disciplines, including arts practice, heritage and history, education, community organizing, and cultural programming.

We are always interested in connecting with community members who care about strengthening cultural life in Yamhill County and may be curious about serving on the Coalition board in the future.

If you would like to learn more about board service, expectations, or future opportunities to get involved, please contact us at yccc@chehalemculturalcenter.org.

We value diverse perspectives and encourage interest from all corners of Yamhill County.
