Volunteer

Available Projects

At Youth Volunteer Corps, we take the health, welfare, and safety of all of our staff, volunteers, communities, and partners seriously. As you know, on March 11, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak was characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. We are closely monitoring daily updates and recommendations from the CDC.
 
If your child or an immediate family member is not feeling well, we ask that the youth volunteer stay home. YVC encourages you to follow the CDC, DHEC, WHO, and local government recommendations for mitigation.
 
Please note: All in-person projects scheduled through May 11 are cancelled. Virtual projects, if available, will be labeled as such. ​
