We engage youth ages 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 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 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.
Parents can encourage their children to participate by visiting our website and exploring the available volunteer opportunities listed on our homepage. Once they find a project that interests them, they can register online and join us in making a positive impact in the community. Additionally, parents can reach out to our team directly for more information or assistance with registration.
Yes, volunteering with Youth Volunteer Corps Kansas City can often fulfill community service hour requirements for schools, clubs, court-ordered, or other organizations.
Upon request, we can provide documentation verifying the number of hours volunteered and a summary of the activities completed. However, we recommend checking with the specific institution or organization requiring community service hours to ensure our volunteer activities meet their requirements. Youth Volunteer Corps Kansas City prioritizes the safety and well-being of all participants.
