SATURDAY PROJECTS
Most Saturdays throughout the year, YVC sponsors at least one community service project for youth. These projects are typically in the morning and last 3-4 hours at a Greater Kansas City area nonprofit. Times may vary.- In order to participate in our Saturday projects, you must contact us beforehand and sign up for the project. It's very important to sign up in advance since some projects have limited space and work available.
- Projects are led by trained, first-aid/CPR-certified Team Leaders.
- Each project includes service-learning, team building and reflection activities.
- If you have not volunteered with us before (or have not volunteered since August 14, 2010), please download, print, and complete this form and bring it to the project.
