Corvallis Parks and Recreation's Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) program provides school year and summer volunteer opportunities for youth ages 11-18.
All YVC/YAB events are cancelled until further notice. We will be reevaluating our position on a daily basis and will update this page regularly.
At Youth Volunteer Corps, we take the health, welfare, and safety of all of our staff, volunteers, communities, and partners seriously. As you know, on March 11, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak was characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. As we closely monitor daily updates and recommendations from the CDC, we want to share with you the steps we are taking to keep our staff, volunteers, and partners safe.
If anyone in your household is not feeling well, we ask that you stay home to help flatten the curve. YVC encourages you to follow the CDC, DHEC, WHO, and local government recommendations for mitigation. For more information about COVID-19 click here.
Please note: All projects scheduled for the remainder of April 2020 are cancelled.
