We believe YVC empowers youth to lift each other up and make a difference in their community!
Every youth receives one free YVC summer T-shirt with registration for summer projects. We ask that youth wear their YVC shirt during all summer projects. If you would like to purchase an extra T-shirt, you can do so for $6. Program directors will give free T-shirts in addition to extra T-shirts purchased to youth on the first day of projects.
