What value does YVC projects provide youth?

YVC’s Summer Projects are an opportunity for youth to grow personally, emotionally, and professionally over the summer months. Our Team Leaders, who will be facilitating a relevant service-learning curriculum at each project, are trained to work with youth to make their volunteer experience as meaningful and educational as possible. 

What do youth learn during Summer Projects?

Team leaders implement activities and lessons that emphasize career connections and skill development in the areas of communication, collaboration and leadership. A successful YVC Summer Project experience will allow the youth volunteer to cultivate a deeper understanding of how their service impacts their community.

Q: Can I cancel a week of projects?

Q: Do you provide food?

A: We do not provide food. We encourage each youth to bring a lunch and any snacks they would like to have throughout the week. Depending on the project, youth may receive food as part of a celebration that occurs on the last day of the project. If this is the case your youth will be told during their week of the project. There will be ample time to rest and have water breaks. 

Q: Will there be scholarships available?

A: Yes. Youth participants may be eligible to receive a scholarship for their registration.

Q: Can I register my youth for half-day or part-time projects?

A: We do not offer a half-day or part-time schedule. If you are going to be late or need to leave early from a project, you will need to let your Team Leader know.
