Youth Volunteer Program (YVP)
The Youth Volunteer Program (YVP) provides young people with the opportunity to volunteer once or twice a week in a supportive after-school setting. Youth volunteers assist program staff in working with children ages 5–12 by helping with supervision, activity and program set-up, clean-up, and engaging in play and positive interactions with participants. The program is a great opportunity for youth looking to build their resume, earn community service hours, and gain valuable experience in a workplace setting while developing leadership and teamwork skills.
