YC Volunteer Positions:

YC Board of Directors
Board Directors ensure that the agency meets identified needs in the community through effective, professional programs and services, that YC has the resources to carry out those services, and represents YC with integrity in the communities we serve. Attendance at monthly meetings throughout the year, service on one of four board committees, and direct or indirect financial contributions are the primary responsibilities for a three year term on the board.

YC Board Committees
Non-board director committee members help to establish annual goals and activities to accomplish agency objectives in the areas of financial oversight, fund/resource development, public relations, and personnel policies. Meeting times and activities are dependant on specific committee objectives and timelines.

Youth Leadership Program Adult Volunteer
YLP adult volunteers assist youth with a wide variety of community service projects, lead discussion groups and provide supervision at leadership training conferences or educational workshops, serve as chaperones at monthly social or recreational outings, and when needed, provide transportation for YLP youth to/from activities.

Connections Program Adult and Teen Volunteer
Adult and high school age youth volunteers connect with 6th, 7th, and 8th grade youth by building healthy relationships through experiential activities during the afterschool hours on Mondays and Wednesdays. Volunteers help students with homework, co-facilitate small student groups in life-skills curriculum activities and projects, and have fun during recreation and social activities.

Teen or adult maintenance volunteers assist weekly or bi-weekly with general office cleaning. Days and times are flexible.
