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.

Here are some ways you can volunteer to help our community during these hard times.
- Make videos or e-cards for the elderly or other at-risk populations that cannot receive visitors; for medical professionals thanking them for their above-and-beyond care for patients; for members of the National Guard who are responding to the Coronavirus; for teachers and parents transitioning to at-home education.
- Work with local animal shelters to create adoption flyers for animals.
- Conduct virtual tutoring for younger youth.
- If able, start seeds in your own yard or garden to transplant into a community garden at a later date.
- Record a podcast, audio series, or video series featuring conversations between and for youth volunteers.
