Youth Volunteer Corps meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.
Stated Purpose:
We engage youth in
team-based service experiences that build life and work skills while inspiring
a lifetime ethic of service.
Year, State Incorporated:
1992, MO
Year-Round Service Opportunities - Throughout the year,
we offer service opportunities open to any youth ages 11-18 at each of our
affiliate locations. YVC program staff work with youth to develop high-quality
service projects, recruit youth volunteers to serve on those projects, provide
youth with additional leadership opportunities, and work to promote the cause
of youth service. Most affiliates have a Youth Advisory Board that helps to guide
programming and offers further leadership development. During the summer, many
of our affiliates provide an intense program with multi-day projects structured
like a day camp. During the school year, projects are offered evenings and
weekends or during the school day as part of our in-school programming. In-School Service-Learning - Our in-school
service-learning programs are as unique as the buildings that host them. Many
of our school programs are run by teachers, others by YVC staff, some in
collaboration with other youth organizations like Jobs for Americas Graduates
(JAG), but all focus on delivering Common Core aligned service-learning lessons
and career exploration reinforced and enhanced by service projects in each
schools community. In these programs, students in middle- and high-school are
given the chance to make connections between disparate subject areas and apply
their learning to addressing the real world problems facing their communities.
International Youth Advisory Board - YVC offers youth
volunteers the opportunity to serve on YVCs International Youth Advisory Board
(IYAB). IYAB is a group of 25-30 YVC members who focus on increasing youth
service opportunities in their local communities and throughout the YVC
network. More than 6,000 youth volunteers serve with YVC each year, and these
IYAB members represent them.
YVC Summit - Our
fall Summit is the most anticipated program we provide. At Summit, we offer
YVC-specific training; general professional development; special awards for
youth who reach service milestones; and the opportunity to share ideas,
stories, and inspiration with others in YVC programs across the U.S., Canada,
and Uganda. Registration is greatly subsidized.
Affiliate Training and Evaluation Program - YVC Headquarters provides comprehensive training to all new and ongoing affiliates. Training is provided virtually, at affiliate sites, and in Kansas City at YVC Headquarters. An annual evaluation of each program is completed by YVCHQ staff. This critical component of our service delivery ensures fidelity to program standards across the network and that youth volunteers are experiencing high-quality service-learning when they participate in YVC.
YVC has entered a new effort to expand youth service opportunities with Navy Child and Youth Programs (CYP). This initiative will introduce YVCs service-learning model at up to 20 Navy installations worldwide, bringing structured volunteer opportunities to military-connected youth ages 11–18.
