Summer Projects Registration.

YVC’s Summer is an opportunity for youth 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. Our summer runs Monday through Thursday from 9am-3pm for 8 weeks. Serve one week, two weeks or ALL eight weeks! #YVCKC
