Our Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) is a members-only youth program for teens, ages 13 and older who are residents of Miami-Dade County. YVC members take an active role in the development of YVC community service projects, submit project ideas, and help build the YVC membership as they recruit friends to join them at the variety of fun, rewarding projects offered for teens.

After completing a YVC application (including signature of a parent or guardian) and attending a quick one-hour new member orientation session, teens are free to sign up for as many projects and activities as they would like! Projects are typically held after school and on the weekends every month throughout the year.

The YVC is a fun and exciting way for students to volunteer together, to get those much-needed community service hours, and most importantly, to feel like they make a difference in our community!  For additional questions, including scheduling a one-hour orientation for your class, youth group, club, or team, please feel free to email youth@HandsOnMiami.org.

Hands On Miami has many ways to get involved for people to get involved in the Miami-Dade community… including family volunteering available through our Flexible Calendar and Community Bridges programs! Whether you volunteer with other youth through the Youth Volunteer Corps, or with a parent/guardian at a Flexible Calendar program or with the entire family at a Community Bridges project, community service forms verifying your participation are available on request at the end of the project.
