YVC Kansas City

Kansas City, Missouri & Kansas City, Kansas

We engage youth in team-based service experiences that build life and work skills while inspiring a lifetime ethic of service. Our vision is communities defined by compassion, selflessness, and respect for others. ​

YVC projects engage teams of 8-10 youth ages 11-18 who volunteer their time to help local nonprofits and learning more about real issues in their communities. A trained and screened adult staff member supervises youth, leads them in icebreakers and team building activities, and facilitates meaningful reflection.

The actual cost per youth volunteer for each week of YVC Kansas City Summer Programming is $340. However, we believe that every youth should have the opportunity to volunteer, regardless of financial circumstances. To make volunteering accessible to all, YVC has subsidized the cost per week at different levels, requiring only a $20 deposit as a placeholder. We understand that financial constraints should not hinder participation; if you have specific needs, please don’t hesitate to contact Shiri Asangwe, sasangwe@yvc.org or Bruce Brooks, bbrooks@yvc.org. This assistance extends to situations involving multiple youth volunteers, multiple weeks of participation, and any other related needs.

Youth Volunteer Corps provides a variety of educational, challenging, and rewarding service-learning experiences throughout the year. We encourage you to wear your YVC-branded gear to volunteer projects. Don’t have YVC-branded gear? Contact Betsy Calmer at bcalmer@yvc.org to find out how to get some!
