Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) began in 1987 as a summer service program for Kansas City youth. Today, YVC is a network of affiliated organizations across the U.S. and Canada running that same program by engaging youth ages 11-18 in team-based, structured, diverse, flexible service-learning opportunities.

YVC affiliates are hosted by a credible nonprofit organization, hosted by YVC Headquarters directly, or are independent YVC programs. Affiliates include United Ways, YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, volunteer centers, parks and recreation departments, and other youth-serving organizations. Each YVC program looks a little different depending on the host organization and the local community, but they all implement the same program model and receive ongoing support and resources from YVC Headquarters.

Our Four Fundamental Goals are:

1. Engage youth in service projects that are challenging, rewarding and educational.

2. Serve the needs of the community and its residents.

3. Cultivate a greater understanding and appreciation for diversity.

4. Promote a lifetime ethic of service in youth.

Mission

We engage youth in team-based service experiences that build life and work skills while inspiring a lifetime ethic of service.
