Corvallis Parks and Recreation's Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) program provides school year and summer volunteer opportunities for youth ages 11-18. Projects feature icebreakers, service learning, and reflections to encourage teambuilding and critical thinking among volunteers.
The Youth Volunteer Corps of Corvallis, associated with the Corvallis Parks & Recreation Department, was named a 2019 Gold Level YVC Affiliate, one of only 15 YVC programs throughout the U.S. and Canada awarded this honor! The Gold Level rating goes only to the very top YVC programs in the United States and Canada that serve as standout examples for how the program can serve its community.
