Summer Projects Registration 2020.YVC’s Summer is an opportunity for youth ages 11-18 to grow personally, emotionally, and professionally over the summer months. We use the principles of service learning, to take a volunteer experience and turn it into real-world learning that youth will reflect on as they look to the future. Due to COVID-19 and CDC guidelines, our summer will be a combination of virtual and in-person/outdoor projects. . Our summer runs June 01-July 31, Monday through Thursday for 8 weeks. Serve one week, two weeks or ALL eight weeks! #YVCKC
