All Youth Volunteers with YouthSERVE Summer of Service
Calling All Youth Volunteers!
The YouthSERVE Summer Institute kicks off on June 17th!
Powered by the Volunteer Center of Santa Cruz County, this free 4-week program helps youth ages 11+ gain new skills, make new friends, earn community service hours, all while learning to use their superpowers to transform our community through volunteering!
Work with amazing local organizations like the Second Harvest Food Bank, Homeless Garden Project, Watsonville Wetlands, and the City of Santa Cruz Parks Department – youth volunteers will learn about our community, how our local ecosystems keep us all healthy, and the impact of civic service for everyone.
