Text Box: Youth Volunteerism The Volunteer Center is committed to connecting youth with “youth friendly” volunteer opportunities throughout the South Bay.  We also provide presentations to local schools, scout troops, and nonprofits focusing on the importance of youth volunteering and service learning.  To learn more, please contact the Youth Programs Coordinator, Katie Kang. The Volunteer Center Youth Coalition (VCYC) Founded in September 1999, VCYC was designed to identify, empower, and mobilize youth from South Bay high schools by providing them with information and training to effectively promote positive social change in the community through meaningful volunteerism and active citizenship.
