Youth Volunteers Corps

We engage youth ages 11-18 in team-based service experiences that build life and work skills while inspiring a lifetime ethic of service.

Projects are available in various locations around Kansas City, both during the school year and in the summer, and youth can sign up for however many projects they want. Some projects can be completed in as little as 1-2 hours, while others take place over multiple days. A wide variety of projects are offered so that youth can choose projects they would enjoy.

After signing up for a project, youth are placed into teams with 8-10 other youth who volunteer their time to help their communities. A trained and screened adult staff member supervises youth, leads them in icebreakers and team building activities, and facilitates meaningful reflection.

Youth learn a lot and have fun while doing something worthwhile!
