See summer program packet PDF below.

YVCKC's Summer Volunteer Program is an 8-week intensive program for youth ages 11 to 18 to serve their communities. Each project lasts four days: Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Youth serve in teams at projects all over the community, and each project includes service-learning lessons, icebreaker games and team-builders.

Our 2012 Summer Program will begin on June 4th and continue eight weeks until July 26. Youth are welcome to sign up for just one project or more, but the minimum is one full week. Summer signups will begin on Wednesday, April 18. Please preview the summer program packet below, then download the form by clicking here.

“This is a great program for the youth. It teaches them responsibility, social awareness and how to interact with other that different with them.”
—Mailan, parent of a volunteer

“The volunteering has made me feel useful. I’m hooked forever.”—Youth Volunteer

“It is a good way from kids to develop a community spirit and keep busy during the summer. While his other friends complained of boredom, my son had a full summer.”
—Julie, parent of a volunteer
