Youth Volunteer Corps of Charleston

Youth Volunteer Corps of Charleston Mission: We engage youth in team-based service experiences that build life and work skills while inspiring a lifetime ethic of service.

Vision: Communities defined by compassion, selflessness, and respect for others. 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. OUR FOUR FUNDAM

ENTAL GOALS
1. To engage youth in service projects that are challenging, rewarding and educational.
2. To serve the unmet needs of the community and its residents.
3. To promote among youth a greater understanding and appreciation for the diversity of their community.
4. To promote a lifetime ethic of service among youth.

We enjoyed creating recyclable and sustainable artwork in honor of . This was a YAB-led project. What a magnificent painting that incorporated hundreds of recycled bottle caps. It was a great reminder of just how much plastic we use everyday and how we can upcycle it into something beautiful!
